Thanks for the reply! Two nights ago I stayed up until 4:30am because I knew I was on to something to fix this problem. Thanks to one of your links, I was able to connect my BCM43225 to the internet! It frustrated me, because I had spent hours and hours trying to figure it out, and had failed...In the end, one terminal command under root was needed to fix it (at least for me)... Quote # modprobe wl All was great until a restart, where it wouldn't connect again (until I initiated that command). So I figured I needed to add a script to be run at startup. I am brand new at making scripts, but this one seemed very simple. So I made a .sh, went to System Settings>Startup and Shutdown and tried adding my script there. That didn't work I think because it needed root access. I did a search on Pardus' WorldForum and came across some instructions on where to put my script. I edited /etc/conf.d/local.start and added... Quote #!/bin/bash modprobe wl Rebooted and it worked! I hope this helps others.

This link helped a little... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/howto-bcm43xx-broadcom-drivers-462995/ After fooling around, my card seems to be turned on - I can select the wireless tab in the network manager - however, it does not connect to my router.

Quote from: Lisa on July 18, 2011, 20:06:40 PM Hi, I'm still reading about this topic as I see it is often a problem of late getting wireless to work. Here is a helpful how-to. Always first check which wireless you are using with command: Code: lspci it is usually the last entry. In Pardus, one way to get it to work is add an entry to the file: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 as explained here. If "wl" doesn't work, then try "b43" instead. Reboot. I've been looking over both Pardus Turkish forums and thanks to their suggestions on this topic, they've gotten many folks' wireless to work. Another thing to check is if you have Windows installed, boot into it and make sure the wireless switch is on, then reboot into Linux. Some people have it turned off in Windows which effects Linux not being able to see connection. I need to try this out on the iMac as it has an airport extreme card with wireless firmware version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.9), the infamous b43. Thanks for posting this! A week ago I had Pardus installed and tried many things to try to get my Broadcom 43225 to work, but I failed, and I gave up and installed Ubuntu for the time being. I got accepted into this forum, so I really hope I can get my problems worked out because Pardus seems like an amazing distro. I tried these steps that you suggested, but they did not fix my problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!
