Thread: Installing Broadcom wireless driver disables Ethernet
i have dell inspiron e1505, has dell wireless 1505 (broadcom) card. run card, installed broadcom sta wireless driver, seems activate wireless card ok. problem once installed driver onboard ethernet card deactivated (and yes, enabled in bios). had remove wireless driver ethernet back. have ideas? haven't found problem listed elsewhere. running ubuntu 9.04 no other problems.
i had same issues on upgrade 9.04, broadcomm card not work. reinstalled fresh 9.10 , still not wireless work.
fix go wired after installation , go synaptic , totally remove following packages:
bcmwl-kernel-source
bcmwl-modaliases
reboot , make sure wired connection comes after reboot.
go synaptice reinstall 2 packs, reboot , wireless should work now.
worked me, if don't have wired sorry don't know how off usb or cd.
luck!![]()
