With a ThinkPad X61 and Lubuntu 14.04.1, wireless fails to connect but Ethernet is AOK.
Multiple SSIDs are seen, in tests at multiple locations, but entering their keys do not enable connection.
Open access points also fail.
Same key works well on other Thinkpad.
MAC address filtering is not on in the gateway (SMC D3GNV).
Problem replicated with a different distro booted from flashdrive.
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
fails with
modprobe: FATAL: Module mac80211 is in use,
modprobe: FATAL: Error running remove command for iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -r iwl4965
and
sudo modprobe iwl4965
both execute with no errors or messages,
sudo service network-manager restart
wants me to pick SSID and give WPA key. But, that does not fix problem, issue persists.
rfkill returns:
0:hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1:tcacpi_bluetooth_sw:Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2:phy0:Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Tried this, rebooted, still fails:
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-dkms
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
