No wireless connection detected HP Pavilion DV6 1220 with a Broadcom BCM 4312
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP Pavilion DV6 1220 ek and the Laptop doesn't detect any wireless connection. Two hours before that, Windows 7 was running on my machine and the WiFi functioned perfectly.
Does anyone have an idea? I've been trying for several hours to fix it without success.

Your chip runs fine with the b43 driver (installed by default) when it has the firmware from the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer. Forget the bcmwl... packages. Not sure what version of the firmware the linux-firmare-nonfree installs, but since the names are so similar to the non-lpphy firmware, that package may not work for you.
