No WIFI under HP Probook 4515s

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Did it the process.

Still shows no wifi network, just "disconnected" at NM.

But the driver is in: (lspci -vnn)

06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1508]
    Physical Slot: 1
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
    Memory at 92000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: wl
    Kernel modules: wl, ssb

The problem is doesn't see the ESSID's, just "disconnected". Or simply just
doesnt support this driver?
