Post-install fixes

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

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.
