Public bug reported: Installed Wily from todays daily (4.2.0-16.19). After booting, I am unable to use the wireless device. The wifi is a broadcom BCM4360 based device on a late 2013 Macbook Air.
Wily wants to load b43 and dmesg only shows this: b43-phy0: Broadcom 4360 WLAN found (core revision 42) Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNL ] Netman does not list the wifi device at all. lspci says: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge If I use ubuntu-drivers, it also does not list the broadcom device. I had to manually install bcmwl-kernel-source from Restricted via apt. Once dkms had worked it's magic, I was able to use the wifi device on my macbook under Wily. So expected behaviour: running ubuntu-drivers will show/install the necessary proprietary bits for the BMC43xx device. Observed behaviour: ubuntu-drivers does not list the BCM43xx device at all. --- ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-10-21 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151020) NonfreeKernelModules: wl Package: ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.4.11 [origin: unknown] PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-16.19-generic 4.2.3 Tags: third-party-packages wily Uname: Linux 4.2.0-16-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package.
