Title: Wireless -- Lenovo S10 e
Post by: dhicks on April 15, 2013, 03:14:59 PM

Group.....

I have a batch of Lenovo S10e Ideapads that I'm hoping to use with Ubermix.  The problem seems to be wireless.  I've downloaded and installed the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer for the Broadcom wireless card.  The challenge is that I cannot get the network to reconnect automatically on reboot.

If I go into network configurations and create a new wireless entry for my WPA network, I am then able to connect.  On reboot....I'm only able to get the connection to come back up if I go to "connect to hidden wireless network" (it isn't hidden) and then select the connection I previously configured.

Any way to get this connection to hold and automatically connect on boot?

Thank you very much,
David

Seems there is an issue with the old B43 driver in the new 3.8.5 kernel - see this thread for a possible solution: http://forums.ubermix.org//index.php/topic,94.msg314.html#msg314 (http://forums.ubermix.org//index.php/topic,94.msg314.html#msg314)

Added a custom package for the Broadcom driver to the ubermix repository that works very reliably with ubermix's newer kernel - appears to solve most problems with older Broadcom cards. To install it, follow the updated instructions at http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Broadcom_Wireless (http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Broadcom_Wireless)
