[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1407522] Re: 14e4:4311 [HP Compaq nx7400 Notebook PC] bcmwl package was suggested by KDE driver manager but broke the system

Should note that the firmware-b43-installer package is also listed as correct for this wireless card in this fairly exhaustive list, yet the driver manager still recommends the wrong package: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless- drivers -- You received this bug

Many years later, I can confirm the same problem still exists! Fresh install of Kubuntu 23.04 with the 14e4:4311 wireless chip, the KDE driver manager suggests installing bcmwl-kernel-source which does not work. Proper suggestion should be as above, firmware-b43-installer, which works perfectly.
