hope u can help me.

I have a Dell Inspiron N4030 and using on it the Ubuntu 13.04. This notebook has a BCM 4313 Broadcom wifi chipset, that is causing some headaches to me.

It connects but, after a couple minutes lost the connection with internet. Curiously it doesn't lost the wifi connection, only the internet connection (in other devices the internet keep active).

I've tried countless solutions that I found on the internet and nothing work =/

My kernel: 3.8.0-27-generic

I've tried with firmware-b43-installer and bcmwl-kernel-source and both give me the same problem. Using a USB wireless adapter I can surf normally.

If you have not installed any other drivers but the sta driver this should get your wireless working. In 13.04 the brcmsmac driver finally started working better with this device then the sta driver.

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source

sudo modprobe brcmsmac
