Installatie Ubuntu on a HP Pavilion G6, pfff....#

  • nomodeset as extra kernel boot parameter (to prevent black screen during boot)
  • mess with wireless driver :
    • sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer fails....
root@hplaptop:~# lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

So, we would need the brcmsmac driver. And blacklist the bcma driver.

After a long journey, found out that 11.04 just works out of the box (later releases also dont work properly with the wireless driver)
