Failed to install drivers for Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 wifi in live session

[Scott Kitterman]

Manually ran jockey and attempted to install the drivers, but it failed. jockey.log attached.

This was done with a Beta 1 image, but the install still fails after updating to the current version of jockey. Also tried after apt-get update and with internet access. Still failed.

Jockey has been superseded by software-properties, which now handles
third-party driver configuration.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Not on Kubuntu it hasn't.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Has this ever worked? The broadcom driver needs to blacklist drivers in the intramfs (thus requiring a reboot) so that the open driver is not loaded on some systems.

What does the following command says after you install the driver with Jockey?

dkms status

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

I've tested this and got it working on almost every release since 2009. I
don't now recall if I got it working for raring or not. Jockey is having
other issues in saucy (See bug #1239298), so I'm not sure if it works there or
not.

[dino99 (9d9)]

i suppose that report status is no more valid, right ?
