@Tommy, I am using 64-bit, and actually am using kernel 3.10 with precise.
Now in the very same page you posted if you look at linux-generic you see it points to linux-image-generic which points to linux- image-3.2.0-51-generic. I cannot say 100% but an average LTS user (doing only security updates and not testing mainline kernels, etc.) still has kernel 3.2. Meaning that closing a bug in LTS because somebody (notorious for merging unrelated bugs) states, incorrectly, that "since 3.8 is in Precise now" concluding that "this is _probably_ irrelevant" is a seriously bad move. But others have already argued that "this is open source" so it's cool if random people make a mess of a distribution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031831 Title: 3.5.0-7.7~precise1-generic works except for broadcom bcmwl-kernel- source failure Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I signed up to test backports of quantal kernel to precise LTS.
