Because if there is any conflicting drivers installed it will not allow the kernel to load the right driver.

Packages to be intalled

bcmwl-kernel-source

bcmwl-modaliases

Packages that should not be installed or removed

b43-fwcutter

linux-backports-modules-karmic

linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic

actually no backports-modules need not be installed.

Problems solved

  • detecting wireless connections, but not able to connect.
  • Wireless not working
  • wireless is enabled but doesnt work.

Instead you will have to download two packages and install it manually.

The packages are    nvidia-glx-new-envy    and    nvidia-new-kernel-source-envy and pls note that the version of these packages should be 173.14.05+2.6.24.501-501.30 Hence the two packages

  1. nvidia-glx-new-envy 173.14.05+2.6.24.501-501.30
  2. nvidia-new-kernel-source-envy 173.14.05+2.6.24.501-501.30

The download links for both these packages are

  1. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/nvidia-new-kernel-source-envy/173.14.05+2.6.24.501-501.30
  2. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/nvidia-glx-new-envy/173.14.05+2.6.24.501-501.30

Also remove anyother nvidia kernel sources if installed….. This works well.

Hence the default package for nvidia-glx-new as old ubuntu versions doesnt support now…. Even if you try installing this default package you will have to run yuo hardy only in you Low Graphics Mode.

Note: Take a back of you   /etc/X11/xorg.conf   file before performing any operation. If any problem goto a shell using other run levels (pressing Alt+Ctlr+f4) and replace the back up file with the one in that location.
