9.10 fresh installation and no wifi on my HP Mini

[Serhat Demirkol]

I have freshly installed Karmic on my Hp Mini, but I couldn't use wifi. No wireless option in NetworkManager. I tried to reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source and got this error.

I can confirm this too. bcmwl-kernel-source needs to depend on patch

Can you confirm whether the problem still exists in the latest version of Ubuntu? https://login.launchpad.net/ZfCQxx6w7mx47fKr/+edit

I'm marking this as wont-fix as karmic is no longer supported.
