2012-04-28 01:27:07 Tommy Trussell description My apologies if I'm reporting against the wrong package. Got wireless working again in my Acer Aspire One D260, with Broadcom BCM4313 driver. It has worked with only minor difficulty in prior versions of Ubuntu (often you have to connect it to Ethernet to download the driver, then in past releases you're good to go.), TODAY I did a regular upgrade to 12.04 Precise (GUI tool via update-manager) and it left me without working wireless. The Broadcom-STA driver showed up in the "additional drivers" tool, but it won't install, with lots of strange messages in /var/log/jockey.log I found a workable procedure at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1879096 Using that procedure: 1) removed a package -- I believe it was bcmwl-kernel-source 2) added two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist bcma blacklist brcm80211 3) installed: bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source firmware-b43-installer (which drew in 11 other packages including b43-fwcutter) Interestingly, during the installation some package (not sure which) coughed up a message with the PCI ID of the Broadcom BCM4313 -- 14e4:4727 -- and said it was aborting because that device isn't supported. And BCM4313 is conspicuously absent from the firmware-b43-installer package, so I bet that's the one that coughed. My apologies if I'm reporting against the wrong package.

The Broadcom-STA driver showed up in the "additional drivers" tool, but it won't install, with lots of strange messages in /var/log/jockey.log WORKAROUND: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1879096 : 1) removed a package -- I believe it was bcmwl-kernel-source 2) added two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist bcma blacklist brcm80211 3) installed: bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source firmware-b43-installer (which drew in 11 other packages including b43-fwcutter) Interestingly, during the installation some package (not sure which) coughed up a message with the PCI ID of the Broadcom BCM4313 -- 14e4:4727 -- and said it was aborting because that device isn't supported. And BCM4313 is conspicuously absent from the firmware-b43-installer package, so I bet that's the one that coughed. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
