[Development Fix] The script is missing a space before the ] in the test syntax and this was fixed by adding that in debian, which was synced in precise. [Stable Fix] Same as Dev Fix [Test Case] You need a broadcom card with a PCI id of 14e4:4324 for this! 1) Try to install the package from the archive, notice it failing to install. 2) enable oneiric-proposed and refresh cache 3) Try to install the package again which should work now. [Regression Potential] The fix only touches the broken piece of the code so wost case is that it will still fail. [original description] I'm trying to get wireless to work on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop. It used to work in 10.04 and 10.10, but not in 11.04 and 11.10 Following instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx I installed b43-fwcutter package. However, when I try to install firmware-b43legacy-installer I get the follow error: ~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer [: 17: missing ] [: 17: missing ] No supported card found. Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver. Aborting. If I try to install firmware-b43-installer package then I get the following error: Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:014-9) ... An unsupported BCM4301, BCM4303, BCM4306 or BCM4306/2 device was found. Use b43legacy firmware (firmware-b43legacy-installer package) instead. Aborting. This error is understandable since Dell Latitude D600 has BMC4306. Therefore firmware-b43legacy-installer should install correctly. ~$ lspci -nvn | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:165d] (rev 01) 02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 03) --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) Package: b43-fwcutter 1:014-9 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Tags: oneiric Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/909996/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
