Bug Description
I have just installed Mint 17 Mate on a laptop that needs a proprietary wlan driver (Broadcom). I had no problems activating the driver in Driver Manager prior to installation, but after rebooting, wlan did not work anymore. So I inserted the Mint installation flash drive and opened Driver Manager again, but this time I was not able to activate the driver. (I also tried opening Driver Manager first and then inserting the flash drive, but this did not help either.) Only after mounting the flash drive manually,* I was finally able to activate the driver in Driver Manager.
* sudo mkdir /media/mint && sudo mount -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/mint

This was fixed post-RC. What version of mintdrivers do you have?
Prior to plugging in the flash drive, was there an info bar asking you to do so within mintdrivers?
