I'm looking to extend the desktop of my hp Compaq nc6120 notebook with an external monitor under Mandriva 2009. A little looking around reveals. HP cannot ensure the compatibility, quality, or performance of this software, and HP will not necessarily provide maintenance or updates. HP does not endorse any specific distribution of Linux. System ROMs via SoftPaqs HP PSG Mobile will offer its Linux specific software downloads, called SoftPaqs, on the FTP site, links provided in the table below.

When my laptop ran XP, the wireless worked perfectly. Now the only way I get internet is having it wired in my living room - which is MASSIVELY inconvenient for me seeing as my room is outside. I have downloaded the driver from 'Additional Drivers', reset my computer (with difficulty, it also doesn't seem to like turning off, so I have to 'kill' it) and still nothing! I have looked all over the internet trying to find solutions but I just cant seem to get it to work. I have a USB wireless stick but I can't load the driver from the CD.

I got this comment on a previous question: 'Using either Snaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu's own Software Centre, remove 'bcmwl-kernel-source' if it's already installed.

Next, search for 'firmware-b43-installer” and “b43-fwcutter” and install both.

Finally, running Software Sources and checking the Additional Drivers tab you should find Broadcom STA Wireless Driver that you can select, install and on reboot hopefully have wireless working ok..'

Which I replied: 'Right, so I tried to find/remove 'bcmwl-kernel-source' but couldn't find anything. I managed to install both 'firmware-b43-installer” and “b43-fwcutter” using terminal, after finding out how it worked. And lastly, I couldn't figure out how to find 'Broadcom STA Wireless Driver' - still no more additional drivers. And my wireless is still not working. My laptop has a button that turns wifi on and off and since I put Ubuntu on it, it hasn't worked. And also, my computer still doesn't seem to restart properly - it just gets stuck on the ubuntu loading screen.' - hope that helps, somewhat

Please do:

if there are any errors just continue and your wireless should come on. Make sure to unplug your usb adaptor first and after you are done with the commands disable ethernet so wireless can take over.
