Chicken Wings Vs Academy Regarding Wifi

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

It probably is not kernel related, or at least solely.
  • Could be related to the module not being loaded. Test with

    Code: Select all

    sudo modprobe [...]
    
    Or, could it be related to this
    And lastly, did you try to upgrade (assuming its a new install), then install the driver?
