A few comments. I plugged in an ethernet cable and installed bcmwl-kernel-source. After a reboot the STA driver showed up in Restricted Drivers, but no wireless network was detected. Since this was a fresh install, I thought it may be easier to just reinstall Ubuntu. I did it, but again the wireless driver did not show up. Since I had other problems (after updating Firefox would not start), I reinstalled Ubuntu again, but this time I plugged the ethernet cable while installing. Fortunately, everything worked fine this time.
I think that on previous installations I didn't experience this bug because I always had an ethernet connection. For the record, I have a Dell Latitude D420, with a Broadcom wireless card BCM4312 802.11a/b/g. -- Restricted Drivers (jocky) not detecting Broadcom STA or B43 Drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
