- i tried in thread broadcom bcm4313 working, terribly slow nothing worked me.
and others nothing helped.
can give detailed description point-by-point did thing working on asus 1015px?
the bcm4313 broadcom wireless card compatible open source brcm80211 driver directly included in standard kernel or proprietary broadcom-wl driver can installed additional drivers in ubuntu. @ point of time, should have 1 of drivers installed , trying use simultaneously result in drivers conflicting each other.
it should noted broadcom-wl has been causing more problems resolving them , should avoid them altogether if possible.
to answer problem, have used steps provided in this forums thread. method more workaround problem rather permanent fix issue.
first of all, blacklist wl, brcm80211 , b43 modules , dependencies.
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf after opening file, add following it:
blacklist mac80211 blacklist brcm80211 blacklist cfg80211 blacklist wl blacklist lib80211_crypt_tkip blacklist lib80211 blacklist b43 and then, edit rc.local file:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local and add following above exit 0:
modprobe brcm80211 this ensure brcm80211 driver module loaded @ end of boot process. might need call update-initramfs -u ensure changes effective after reboot.
i should add fact have bcm4313 wireless driver in system , have used these procedures working properly.
