Public bug reported: To reproduce on a laptop with a broadcom 4322 wireless chipset install firmware-b43-installer package and then connect to a wireless network with thsi driver. Then open the additional drivers tab of software properties gtk to see if this device is working or not. Instead even though you are connected via this wireless network it still says it is not working.
the network info output from inxi -n Network: Card-1: Broadcom BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller driver: b43-pci-bridge IF: wlan0 state: up mac: 00:25:56:94:d5:e0 Card-2: Realtek RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169 IF: enp3s0 state: down mac: 00:23:8b:f3:76:7c I expected ubuntu drivers common to not provide false negatives about wifi being broken. Instead it showed that my wireless was not working while I am using that to connect to launchpad to submit this bug report.
