04 - Broadcom STA Wireless Driver Install fail - Broadcom BCM4313 Hi, I had the exact same issue as you 10.10 wireless was working fine but when I upg raded to 11.04 it stopped working and would not find the wireless card. 1) Goto this webpage - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Driver/bcm43xx Scroll down to the section Installing b43 drivers and follow the steps there to install the drivers. When I completed that I was able to see my wireless card but it was complaining that there was no firmware install. 2) Goto the webpage - http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...reinstallation Scroll down to the heading Other distributions not mentioned above. Here are the steps i followed. 1 2 3 4 5 wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2 tar xjf b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2 cd b43-fwcutter-013 make cd ..

and then the following 1 2 3 4 5 export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources...8.10.4.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux sudo ../../b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o

This should get your card working. Mine fired up right away. Goodluck
