Public bug reported: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 latest beta just after upgrade from Gutsy.
The Broadcom firmware is wrong for the used b43 driver. http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-old As the b43-fwcutter version is correct (011) To make the b43 driver running you need to do export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" # or /lib/firmware/$kernel_version (i have actually done it on both paths, don't know where it should really go) wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 # <<< the correct tarball !!! tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod # as the b43-fwcutter package is installed, this b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o I have an Acer 3023WLMi and from the previous Gutsy installation, it has the acer-acpi package. I do it in recovery mode, and when leaving it, going into normal X session, the card just starts working normally. (in recovery mode, because I need to fix the sudo, but that is a topic for different bug actually...) ** Affects: b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- restricted manager in hardy fails to install correct firmware b43-fwcutter - solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202567 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
