If not, we'll go from there.

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm running into this same issue, and would like to know the next step(s) in the process. I'm fairly new to Linux, but also fairly technical.

Here's my inxi output:

Code:

stephen@pnp-Inspiron:~$ inxi -Nn
Network:   Card-1: Broadcom NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express
           driver: tg3
           IF: enp9s0 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full
           mac: 00:1c:23:fa:da:a0
           Card-2: Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN
           IF: N/A state: N/A mac: N/A

I've done the following:
- Verified WiFi is enabled in BIOS
- Disabled the hardware switch in BIOS
- Removed the previously installed driver (same as current.)
- Rebooted
- Re-installed using N4RPS' method above

Hardware I'm using: Dell inspiron 1420 with 32 bit LinuxLite, here's the full INXI output
