Ah! I get your point about the bug title. What if we think about this from the perspective of the desired outcome - which should be, I guess, a fresh install that just works.
There is no point in continuing to have Ubuntu install STA drivers that don't work wiith 4311 hardware, which is what has happened since natty. If the right solution is to fix the STA driver (or its configuration or whatever) so that it does work with the 4311, then I say "let's fix it". If the right solution is to toss the STA driver, or mark it as unsuitable for the 4311, and convince Ubuntu to install b43 (or whatever) then I say "let's install b43 instead". I don't really know all the ins and outs of the various drivers, so I don't know which is the right solution. I just know that the STA driver in all its incarnations since natty has failed to work with the 4311 as configured and that I fix it by installing b43 instead while I wait for an Ubuntu release that does not have this problem. If you would like me to test various configurations, my poor old Inspiron is dedicated to that kind of thing so please ask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732677 Title: bcmwl 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2 not work on BCM4311/4312 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/732677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
