Post-install fixes

Wireless (Lucid Lynx)

  1. If you have wired connection
    • Automatic firmware installation:

      • Open System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and activate the b43-fwcutter.

  2. If you don't have wired connection
    • Download and install the firmware:

      1. Download this and this form another computer, and save them on the Desktop.

      2. Open a terminal and run
        cd ~/Desktop
        tar xvf b43-tools-5a082479780cc0ce68c1a1b8709b30a092461e4c.tar.gz
        cd b43-tools/fwcutter
        make
        cd ..
        export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
        tar xjf ../broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
        cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
        sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o
        sudo modprobe b43

Wireless (Karmic Koala)

  1. If you have wired connection
    • Automatic Broadcom proprietary driver installation:

      1. Update and upgrade your system.
      2. Open System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and activate the BCM driver.

  2. If you don't have wired connection or you are on a live session
    • Download and install the Broadcom proprietary driver:

      1. Download the .deb file of the bcmwl-kernel-source package from here.

      2. Make sure you download all its dependencies as well (or just try to install and let the package installer complain, so that you will know what are the missing dependencies).
      3. Double-click on the .deb files to open the package installer.
      4. After installing bcmwl-kernel-source open a terminal and run
        sudo modprobe wl

Audio (Karmic Koala)

Open a terminal and run

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Copy the following lines to the end of the file:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N

Save. Exit.

Known issues

Audio

  • Recording with the internal microphone has poor quality with Lucid.

Wireless

  • Turning on/off wireless via the switch key does work but Ubuntu is not aware of the switching. Only after a while it realizes "there are no available networks" or some "connection problems", not that the device is actually off.
  • LED does not work as it should: slow blinking when not connected, full when connected and fast blinking when sending/receiving data.
