How to install a Broadcom 802.11 WLAN driver on Ubuntu 11.04? My router is a D-Link N150, and the driver i had installed on windows for this will not work with Ubuntu.
Can't install drivers for my Broadcom 43142
Hi guys, I'm a newbie when it cames to linux and after some research I've decided that Mint was the best option but I'm having many problems trying to install the drivers for my wireless card that is a Broadcom 43142.
I was searching on the internet for several days trying to fix my problem, but with no change, it still doesn't work...
On the terminal I wrote this just to confirm the Wireless Card: lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
With that info I've searched for a Broadcom Wireless Table and I've found that the package for my Broadcom is the bcmwl-kernel-source
But when I run the command: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bcmwl-kernel-source : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed
libc6 : Breaks: locales (< 2.19)
libc6:i386 : Breaks: locales (< 2.19)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I am hoping someone in here can help me. I am new to Linux and Ubuntu. But I have to say I really love using the Os. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 along side Windowns 7. Both Os are running perfect bar the wireless on Ubuntu, just not working. Network cable is fine.
My System details are Acer Aspire 5103 WLMI, AMD Turion 64x2, 120G HD, upgraded to 4G Ram with Ubuntu running along side Windows 7. Network controller is working fine, with perfect WiFi on the Windows 7 partition. But I have tried everything to get the WiFi to work on Ubuntu with no luck so far.
Below is the Network controller details.
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02).
I have tried everything on the Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers reless-drivers page. With no joy. I have been at this three days now. All help and advice welcome! Even if it doesnt work. TRIAL and ERROR can be a great way to learn.
