Bug Description

I've upgraded my Ubuntu from 13.04 => 14.04.

Wifi worked very well on 13.04

No wifi after upgrade to 14.04.

After many evening to try to fix wifi, I found that I need to install linux-firmware-nonfree

Question : why this package was installed on 13.04 and missing (removed) after upgrade ?

How can I help you to fix it for every BCM4321 user ?

How can we say : if laptap have BCM4321 and linux-firmware-nonfree package missing, ask to user to install it ?

Best regards,
Stephane
