Hi!

I recently discovered that my wireless LAN isn't working. Checking the Network Center, there isn't any SSIDs found even it switch is turned ON. Can someone tell me a quick tweak?

Thanks

yes, it seems to be a broadcom bcm4313

there is some posts with this adapter, seems to be a bit problematic

i did a search in the forum and found this post

it seems that you need to use it with ndiswrapper, using a windows driver

T6 is right.  The BCM4313 can be problematic.

First make sure you are fully updated and then tell us which kernel version are you using (command "uname -r") and also give us the output from "lsmod" command.

Apparently this has been solved via update. After I installed several of it, and pressing Fn + F5 (enabling WLAN) presto! it my network just showed up.

Thanks
