In fact, I was happy with my Broadcom card under Ubuntu 9.04 and from there on out it went downhill. Under 12.04 I coul;dn't get it to work so I spent US$ 10 and replaced the broadcom card with a centrino based Wifi card. Works like a charm now. <div class="moz-signature">Lutz Andersohn <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lutz.andersohn@gmail.com">lutz.andersohn@gmail.com</a> (925) 784 1565 D-19318, AFF-I <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6</a> Public key ID: 0x9620D1A6</div> On 02/03/2014 12:24 PM, Teresa Binstock wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:52EFDED5.3010107@q.com" type="cite"> On 2/3/2014 9:31 AM, Paul Cartwright wrote: <blockquote type="cite">On 02/03/2014 11:24 AM, Teresa Binstock wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Wifi works easily via Knoppix 7.2.0 CD but I can't get wifi to work via Xubuntu 12.04.3 CD. I think I have entered correct info into edit network connections (BSSID, MAC address, etc), but just can't get wifi to connect during Xubuntu trial using CD (on HP dv7 laptop). I've been trying for days, have read many webpages, can't solve the problem, thus this post. I would prefer Xubuntu if wifi can be tested and made to work on the dv7. </blockquote> you might try removing network-manager and installing wicd..
