Don't have network connection using a BCM4313 adapter
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10, but since the upgrade I don't have internet access via wifi anymore.
I can:
- See networks
- Connect to a network
- Ping myself (localhost, 192.168.0.103)
I can't:
- Ping others (including other devices on the same wireless network, including the gateway/router)
- Resolve hosts
- Access any other external resource, whether on my own network or on the internet
Using Wireshark, I noticed my computer is continuously sending ARP-requests like "Who has 192.168.0.1 [which is the gateway]? Tell 192.168.0.103". It doesn't get any replies though. When I ping another IP-address for which it knows the mac-address (from cache), it turns out a packet loss of >90% occurs, and even if a packet manages to arrive it takes around 3000ms.
The output of route -n is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 9 0 0 eth1
192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0
Before upgrading, wifi worked fine. Using other devices, wifi still works fine.Resetting the router didn't help. Ethernet still works after upgrading.
Any suggestions?
Update: I'm using the wl driver. Here's the relevant output of some commands:
lspci | grep Wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[...]

cat /etc/rc.local
sudo modprobe -r lib80211
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic-pae/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211.ko
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic-pae/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_wep.ko
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic-pae/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_tkip.ko
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic-pae/kernel/net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_ccmp.ko
sudo modprobe wl
exit 0
The last lines are probably how I got wireless working after the previous upgrade (wireless has been a problem after each upgrade).
Update 2: added information about the exact hardware below.
The hardware is an integrated device, so I ran lspci -nn | grep -i network. The output is:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
Please do:
sudo modprobe -rv wl
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -v brcmsmac
now your wireless should be working.
If anyone else is experiencing a similar problem, and the guide above did not help, try using an earlier Linux kernel like 3.8. That was the only way I got around to this problem.
