Guys - i did it!!
This crappy STA error was bugging me for 3 days.
As i am so green in this technical thing, first in my life i had to go through
a million of treads regarding this missing wireless thing and i had no solution
for my case.

I investigated this more closely, and I'm afraid there is no easy way to
have the b43 driver appear in jockey when STA is enabled.
Technical background: the STA driver blacklists tbe ssb module (it has
to, in order to work at all), and the b43 module has modaliases in terms
of ssb:. Since there
This bug is not nearly important enough to be SRUed, it's a corner case.

Yes, that worked! Thanks all for the work.
Can anybody explain why the bugfix is in a backport-module? Normally
backports are used for enhancements (like a new version of Firefox or
OpenOffice), not for bugfixing.

then the STA, which brought up a new interface (eth3). The computer

ty as well Pham Thanh, I had 4 comps offline because of this, something
to add is off the cd for release you still need some kind of internet to

Go to pool/restricted/b/bcmwl on Ubuntu CD or Ubuntu Live USB. Double

Did You do 'sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade' first? I think this
was fixed after RC release, so You have to upgrade first.

What aspect is cosmetic?
The bit that the STA driver says needs reboot when it's actually
already working. I just saw that once in my testing, though, and I
cannot say whether it was because I had the b43 module still loaded at
