    Wifi no longer working after update to 13.04

    I got a HP Pavilion dv6 which has a broadcom wifi module which worked fine the day before I upgraded to 13.04 (Kubuntu). The driver is still installed and it tries to establish a connection (all wifi networks around are correctly detected). However, I cannot further than "setting up network address".

    Thanks for all the fish

    Cheers Bios

    Check your additional drivers, if the proprietary driver is active try deactivating it and reboot.

    This fixed my wifi problem.

      do you know which Broadcom card you have?

      There are to drivers STA -WL and B43 xx which one you use depends upon the card in your machine.
      if you don't know you can go to a terminal and type "lspci" your wireless card will be listed in the list.
      good luck
      should have said past in a terminal without the quotes
