Thread: Unity 3D/wireless problems on HP laptop (12.04)

so laptop hp dv6227cl. it's 6 years old, , used run 10.04 (64-bit) on 0 problems, worked great out of box. has not been case ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit). not sure if should split these different threads here's of problems i've been having.

1. after installing nvidia-current (or post-release) drivers, unity 3d + compiz crashes on login, , goes black screen.

2. wifi doesn't work. "hardware-drivers" app detects , installs drivers broadcom wireless chip (broadcom sta wireless driver), once rebooted networking applet not show wireless connections, , light on wireless on/off switch stays off.

there numerous other little issues, these biggest ones me. if can point me in right direction fixing, appreciated.
