Hi all,
I'm having an issue with my Linksys AE1200 802.11bgn Wireless Adapter, or the Broadcom BCM43235, on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (i386) install. During the install, the Ubuntu Installer recognized my wireless adapter, and allowed me to connect to a Wi-Fi network during the installation without an issue. However, upon first boot, Ubuntu did not find the USB wireless adapter driver. After running lsusb, I get the following output:
Quote:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 13b1:0bdc Linksys
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 413c:3200 Dell Computer Corp. Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
However, if I unplug and replug the USB wireless adapter, it successfully works, and I am able to connect to a Wi-Fi network without an issue. Running lsusb again gives me the following output:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13b1:0039 Linksys AE1200 802.11bgn Wireless Adapter [Broadcom BCM43235]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 413c:3200 Dell Computer Corp. Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
While this works for the time being, I must unplug/replug upon every reboot. Otherwise, I am back to the other device ID and no connection.
I'm not sure why the device IDs would be different-- coming from a Windows background, I imagine this is why Ubuntu is struggling to find a device driver. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ran some other commands to get some more insight....
