Mintdrivers (based on software-properties-gk) has a few interesting commits:
There is one about firmware - https://github.com/linuxmint/mintdrivers/commit/c443ecd54310d7e521d57b214bcbfb7979fe4c66 One requesting an internet connection - https://github.com/linuxmint/mintdrivers/commit/6ff0dd4d102c078c319b3910ccdbf21ea8fc55d6 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to b43-fwcutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490212 Title: "Modaliases" field missing from debian control file Status in b43-fwcutter package in Ubuntu: New Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The b43 module is not listed as an option by the "additional drivers" section of the software-properties-gtk utility. This takes its information from the ubuntu-drivers-common package and a bug has been reported against that package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers- common/+bug/1186779 ). However, if I'm reading things correctly, the firmware-b43-installer package could solve this by providing a modaliases field in the debian control file. For example, the bcmwl-kernel-source package has the line: Modaliases: wl(pci:v000014E4d*sv*sd*bc02sc80i*) This would be scanned by the ubuntu-drivers-common package and consequently appear in software-properties-gtk.
