Hey,
Seems I have an issue with my Broadcom on an Aspire 3000. I know there was one before and I have tried those solutions to no resolve. Two things that are happening.
1. the Wireless quit working on me when I did a reboot after the initial updates. I installed 2.0 and things were just fine. It even remembered the wireless password and auto connected when it rebooted into the fresh install.
I did my updates and all and then rebooted again. This time it did not start the wireless and could no longer see a wireless. I thought oh I must have hit the switch or something. So I hit the switch and nothing happened. So I rebooted again. Same result, no wireless.
So I came on here (which I was already on singing praise and all) and looked for wireless information issues, Found one with another Broadcom Wireless and tried those things. (as noted above) Nothing.
So here I am thinking... Alright it was working before the update. What was it using prior to the update. Would that be on the live CD? hmmm Better ask Valtam. So here I am.
2. I have noticed that when I shut down the system Or try to restart it. It takes the full length of the bar on the splash screen and then just sits there. I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds to shut it off....
Any Ideas?
Stupid Broadcom.....
Oh yeah I had also installed Play on Linux prior to this happening. Will that make a difference? I did not install anything though.
update:
I rebooted into the live usb I used for install and it works great as I suspected. So.... where do I get that driver?
