Dell Inspiron 1525, Upgraded to 12.04 and have lost Wireless Internet Connection [duplicate]

Wireless doesn't work on a Broadcom BCM4312

I've just upgraded my Dell Inspiron 1525 to 12.04. Wireless connection worked before, but now it doesn't. I can't seem to start the driver. I remember having to activate it manually for the last version and it worked fine but it doesn't with this new 12.04 upgrade.

When I go to "Additional Drivers", I am shown one option named "Broadcom STA wireless driver". When I try to activate it, I get this message:

Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

The message entered into the log is:

Can anyone help please?


Solution 1:

@rdeth use sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source command to remove and then install again using additional drivers interface it worked like that for me
