Marty,


Thanks for your response. I need to install firmware. I installed and ran
b43-fwcutter.

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

See Link

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

Everything is working great.

Title:
  bcmwl fails to build with 3.8 kernels [error: ‘struct
  cfg80211_ibss_params’ has no member named ‘channel’]

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “broadcom-sta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “bcmwl” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “broadcom-sta” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  Upcoming 3.8 kernels have broken this DKMS package.

  P

  SRU request:

  [Impact]

   * As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the
  module against linux-generic-lts-raring in Ubuntu 12.04.

  [Test Case]

   * Enable the precise-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel-
  source (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2).

   * Install linux-generic-lts-raring

   * If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the
  linux-generic and lts-raring kernels, then the patches work correctly.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The patches that I backported from 13.10 will preserve the current
  driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.2) and linux-generic-lts-quantal
  (3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check
  the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be
  expected on these kernels.
