Wireless network adaptor on HP EliteBook 6930p

[mr_psie]

Hey guys,

first, just to tell you guys, I' ve to disable acpi, using the parameter

acpi=off

at start up to get BT 4 running!

Then when the system runs I type in

ifconfig -a

and I get 2 interfaces: eth0, and lo... But I don't get anything what looks like a wireless interface! Also, if I type in

iwconfig

I don't see any device.

What can I do to enable my wireless device?
It works without any issues with Ubuntu. So why isn't it with BT 4?


Thanks for your help and advices in advance.

First off it is because bt4 is not ubuntu, second what type of card do you have? Second did you do /etc/init.d/networking start ??

Hey archangel.amael,

thanks for your fast reply. First, I am not sure which card or cipset I have on my wireless card as it is an internal one. The only thing I know is from "lspci"

02:00.0 Network conroller: Bradcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11 b/g (rev01)

So, I think it is a Broadcom Cipset. Is that correct? Or is it just the manufacture of the card using an other cipset? If so, how can I figure out what cipset my card has?
Second, yes I tried \etc\init.d\networking start, but it is just trying to establish a wired connection via eth0!
Any ideas?

Tanks guys

Looks like it to me. Now for getting it to work might be a different story.
I know that a lot of people do not have luck with broadcom type cards.
Just look around here with your make and model and you will find more information. There is a huge thread I believe on the card.
