I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a Lenovo G580 with Atheros AR8162 Ethernet and Broadcom BCM4313 Wireless Driver.

I try the this:

How do I get an Atheros AR8162 working?

but it doesn't work.

When I type make install it comes:

FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/3.2.0-29.generic-pae/modules.dep.temp for wirting: Permission denied make *** [unistall] Error 1

Edit: 05.02.2012

After I try it with sudo (thx to maggotbrain) cablebased network works. I update my system and install the Broadcom-STA-WLAN-Driver. Restart and after my reboot cablebased network doesn't work anymore and I can see wlan's but I can't connect.

Instead of doing the manual compile and install, install the package linux-generic-lts-quantal. This will activate the LTS Enablement Stack, which will upgrade the Linux kernel in your 12.04 LTS to the version in Quantal (12.10). That kernel (3.5.0) has built-in support for the drivers you need.

You will find the package linux-generic-lts-quantal in your package manager, or from a command shell do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal

You will find some background info on this solution in my reponse to this question.
