I used this command for this AU Q&A

sudo dpkg -i 1.deb

And I get this message:

Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

I do have this installed but still don't have a working WiFi

Is it a problem in my kernel maybe? fresh Ubuntu 12.10 x64, and I have tried x32

  • Your kernel is different from what it was with 12.04. You need to search for new drivers. But can't you get the drivers using `Addtional drivers`? or you can follow this http://askubuntu.com/a/215923/35775 – Web-E Nov 14 '12 at 11:16

Your message suggests the linux-headers-generic are not installed or not correctly. Please do:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential dkms
    sudo dpkg -P 1.deb
    sudo dpkg -i 1.deb
    sudo modprobe wl

The backticks are on the left side of my US keyboard on the same key with ~.
