I have a wireless issue with my HP netbook.

I found a fix here: How do I get an Acer Npilfy 802.11 (BCM43225) wireless card working? but when I type sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source it tells me that bcmwl-kernel-source could not be downloaded! Any suggestions?

The command lspci -nn gives me the number 14e4:4727 for the controller, so that's why I thought this fix above would help.

(I am using Ubuntu 12.10.)

Thanks to https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1427221.html

I solve my "No WiFi Adapter found" + the same "cannot download" probleme by following this :

In terminal type the following:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/bcmwl-kernel-source.{postinst,prerm,postrm}
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get clean

then do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and

reboot

And Finally reinstall with the GUI :

Open hardware drivers and activate the broadcom STA wireless driver which should be there.
