Would anyone happen to know why the plain vanilla version of Academy shows my laptop wifi card while Chicken Wings doesn't when they both use the same kernel. Is it a loadable mod that is missing.
The Dell laptop shows via lspci as a Broadcom BCM312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Thanks for any help

Re: Chicken Wings Vs Academy Regarding Wifi
It probably is not kernel related, or at least solely.
- Could be related to the module not being loaded. Test with
Or, could it be related to this
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe [...]
And lastly, did you try to upgrade (assuming its a new install), then install the driver?
