BCM4312 on Ubuntu 12.04 problem with drivers
Hello,
For some days now I am trying to configure aircrack-ng on my system and I am not able to do so.The closest thing I have come to now is:
- use wlan card as normal but not being able to put it in monitor mode ( sudo aircrack-ng start eth1 (yeah when I switch to the wl driver, wlan0 becomes eth1 ))
* using wl (broadcom sta) driver
- card can't detect any networks, monitor can be switched on and off
* using b43
I have tried using different versions of b43-fwcutter, broadcom-wl and firmware-b43-installer (firmware-b43-lpphy-installer), but with no success.
I am hoping that someone can help me to be able to use my card as normal and to be able to crack networks (I have done it with BackTrack)
My system:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.03
PCI-ID: 14e4:4315
Chip-ID: BCM4312
Modes: b/g
PHY Version: LP (r1)
Supported: yes (2.6.33+)
Alternative: wl
uname -a: http://pastebin.com/ZtKpBcYQ
sudo lspci -vvn|grep 43 -A7: http://pastebin.com/4QBg5dBz
Tell me if you need any more info.
Thanks in advance!

Well...I would suggest using BackTrack 5 R3 for using aircrack-ng suite as it comes with it and I have always had BackTrack work out of the box. Kali Linux is the 'new' BackTrack and works well, but I have had a lot of trouble getting it installed.
But if you don't want to do that, then try:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
If that give's you an error, try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
Then let's test the driver so we don't have to restart the computer:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma
sudo modprobe wl
Good Luck,
Chris
