[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1910875] [NEW] Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04
Public bug reported:
First, I suspect this may be the same bug as Bug #1905211 "package
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed focal fossa in
kernel v5.9" because I got the same error "installed bcmwl-kernel-source
package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status
10". However, I wanted to make a separate report because I am still on
kernel v5.8. Please merge these threads if it seems like they're the
same bug.
Anyway, my problem is this:
The last time I installed a tranche of system updates, I got a "System
software problem detected" dialog and submitted the crash report. The
next time I booted up my computer, the Broadcom wifi device was not
recognized. The wifi had worked fine up until that point.
I tried to manually uninstall and reinstall the driver using dpkg with
the bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5) package downloaded
from packages.ubuntu.com (the machine in question does not have a wired
ethernet connection). dpkg produced the following output:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1905211] Re: package bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed focal fossa in kernel v5.9
I have a very similar problem ("package bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271
+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: installed bcmwl-kernel-source
package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status
10"), and I suspect it may be the same bug. However, I submitted a
separate bug report (Bug #1910875 "Broadcom wireless driver failed to
install with code 10 on focal 20.04") because I am still on kernel v5.8.
If anyone thinks these are be the same bug, please merge my report with
this one.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1910875] Re: Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04
Yes, I agree this does look like a duplicate of Bug #1910555. I'm not sure why I didn't see that one when I was looking for bugs that corresponded to my problem. Anyway, this solution worked for me: 1. Manually download the bcmwl-kernel-source package from this page: https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/bcmwl-kernel-source Make sure that you get the "6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu7" version from the "groovy" repository, not the older version from the "focal" repository. (You might also need to install or reinstall the "dkms" package, which you will see a link to under "related packages".) (I needed to download the package on a different computer and transfer on a flash drive it to the laptop where the wifi wasn't working because that laptop doesn't have an ethernet port.) 2. Open a terminal, go to the directory where the package file is located and run dpkg with this command: sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel- source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb 3. Enter your administrator password. The broadcom driver kernel module should install automatically. If you get an error saying that package you are trying to install depends upon some other package that isn't available, download that package from packages.ubuntu.com and install it using the command: sudo dpkg -i [package file name], then try step 2 again. For me the installation worked fine, and the wifi came back on instantly and even automatically reconnected to my home network. I didn't even need to reboot! So this is definitely an effective workaround, but this bug won't really be solved until Canonical gets this patch into the focal repositories. (And even then, people will still have to manually reinstall their wifi driver if they don't have wired internet access.) -- 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/1910875 Title: Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04 Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: First, I suspect this may be the same bug as Bug #1905211 "package bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed focal fossa in kernel v5.9" because I got the same error "installed bcmwl-kernel- source package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10".

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1910555] Re: Driver build error on kernel 5.8, but works on 5.4
I had the same problem and submitted it as Bug #1910875. I didn't see
this bug at first because I got a slightly different error message
("post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10").
But it's definitely the same bug and installing the 6.30.223.271+bdcom-
0ubuntu7 version of bcmwl-kernel-source worked for me. So in one sense
this bug has already been patched, but I would say that the real bug is
that the patch didn't get included in the focal repository.

As could be seen, the build for 5.4 completes successfully (and works on same
kernel), but for 5.8 fails. Seems something is going wrong with missing
function declaration - function "ioremap_nocache", as could be seen in attached
make.log.
I'm guessing, driver code may need be updated according to the new kernel
headers.
