Public bug reported:
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, dual-booting with Windows 7, on my
Acer Aspire 5820TG through a liveUSB installer. However the drivers for
my wireless card (a Broadcom BCM43225) was not installed. I followed the
instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access
after manually downloading the files bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36
+bdcom-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb and dkms_2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1_all.deb from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ using Windows 7 and copying the files from
the hard drive. dkms was listed as a dependency for bcmwl-kernel-source.
I could install dkms but not bcmwl. After running sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-
kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb from the command line
the error message said "patch: command not found". After installing
patch_2.6-2ubuntu1_amd64 manually, bcmwl-kernel-sources installed
correctly.
patch isn't listed as a dependency for bcmwl-kernel-source, although it
is invoked in the installation process for bcmwl-kernel-source.
** Affects: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
