Hi,

The following link gives an explanation for your wireless issue:

The wired b44 driver is loading first, which is preventing the wireless
driver b43 from using the ssb module which already in use by the b44
driver.

A quick and dirty fix is to drop support for your wired interface to
allow the wireless b43 driver to use the ssb module.

Open a terminal and enter the following command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# Add the following 2 lines at the end of the blacklist.conf file:

blacklist b44
blacklist ndiswrapper

Then run the following command and reboot afterwards:

sudo update-initramfs

Now your wired connection will not work, but wireless should work.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

Mark
