Public bug reported: When trying to activate a proprietary driver for Broadcom BCM4312 wifi adapter on Ubuntu Karmic (tested Alpha 3, Alpha 5 and Beta), it fails. It tries to open a windows which supposedly downloads and installs the drivers, but it just vanishes immediately. See screencast[1].
Important detail: this didn't happen when running from the LiveCD, only when it is installed. When running from the LiveCD, it successfully install the proprietary Broadcom STA driver. Running lsmod doesn't show 'wl' module (it is shown when running from the LiveCD). May be related to: * 410963 (this seemed to be NetworkManager-specific -- everyone reporting that bug seems to have the driver installed)[2]. * 396203 (though in my case, no error message appeared -- I don't even know if it is Jockey crashing or what else)[3].
