    Question 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
