Jul 6th 2011, 02:55 AM 1 [ SOLVED] HP Mini 110 / Broadcom b43 driver woes Virtually every new release of KB leads to wireless problems with my HP Mini 110 and its Broadcom 4312 802.11b/g/n WLAN/ Bluetooth module. I've always been able to get it working (with help! until now. Here's what I've done to try to get wireless access restored. 1. Installed WICD. 2. Used the Additional Drivers program on the K-menu to locate and activate the one driver it could find - the Broadcom STA wireless driver. Result: no access, because authentication failed. Bad password was the reported problem. But the password was correct. 3. Googling around brought me to the excellent Ubuntu wiki page Following instructions on this page I installed packages b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer. This resulted in an error: Code: Unpacking firmware-b43-installer (from./firmware-b43-installer_ -5_all.deb). Setting up firmware-b43-installer ( -5). Not supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315! Aborting. dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (-configure subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: firmware-b43-installer E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) The Not supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315! part seems to be the problem. I've never seen this problem before. I have no idea why it suddenly cropped up, after this chipset has work OK (with some persuasion) through several previous KB versions. Can anyone suggest to me what my options are at this point? I really need to get wireless working, and the sooner the better.

I have the same problem! Except it's my friend's HP Mini 210 (1022 SS) that I'm trying to solve this for him. Right now I'm using Win7 64bits ( Ultimate but I've tried Windows 7 32bits too, and everything you and some other people (other forums) posted, including the older version of the Broadcom driver you posted above. sometimes, to get the wireless to find my router I had to put it to sleep and wake it up, then it finds the wireless, and then sometimes it connects successfully but only stays connected for ~5 minutes and disconnects (while in use! out of nowhere, just disconnects! and then even putting it to sleep sometimes it finds the wireless, sometimes not, and sometimes it finds the wireless but when trying to connect to it windows says it failed In the Windows Update I found that Realtek lan driver update, did it, * NOTHING* changed, still the same. I just tried hibernating it and waking it up and now the wireless just connected, then I started downloading and installing the Live Messenger (it's a brand new fresh install of Win7 after format) and BAM, disconnected again in the middle of the download! Also tried turning the wireless on and off but nothing changes too, it seems like it doesn't even TRY to find a wireless, it just says there isn't any available Wow, really!? It's completely ABSURD that they want you to stick with a STARTER version of Windows, it's just nonsense! That version of Windows itself advises you to upgrade to at least a Home Premium to unlock more features! Well, last week I returned the laptop to my friend the way it was, I explained to him all this, then I turned it on to show him and the wireless was working fine, so I just told him it was an intermittent issue. Right after that, I started thinking that it could be related to wireless encryption, couldn't it? Have you guys tried all kinds of protection? And of course even a.
