I reinstalled 11.04 from the live DVD, without connecting to the Internet, thinking that the proprietary Broadcom STA driver would install from the DVD. But that didn't help. When I rebooted after installation, and tried to activate the proprietary driver, the driver installer said that the drivers were not installed and insisted that I connect to the Internet, and after I plugged in, it downloaded the driver profiles and found the Broadcom driver, but got the same error. If there's a way to install the driver that is on the CD and DVD, that would be a work-around until the driver repository is fixed. I don't know how to force that installation, however.

Any suggestions?
