Installed Xubuntu 14.04 on a Macbook 3.1 and it works fine. With cable connection, downloaded and installed the proper broadcomm wi-fi driver for linux, and the wi-fi also worked without a hitch after ethernet disconnection.
Then, because of a very large file download, switched back to ethernet and used it for a week. Now disconnected the ethernet again, to return to wi-fi for mobility, but I have no clue how to activate it.
The taskbar icon indicates network to be activated, and the ethernet is disabled (unplugged), but there is nothing mentioned about wi-fi.
The broadcomm driver is there and installed.
"rfkill" reports that nothing is blocked and I have full access, but I still don't know how to activate it.
Please help.
