Brian Murray (brian-murray) wrote (last edit ): Re: Failed to install bcmwl wireless driver during the install

I tried installing using the desktop legacy image and noticed that `ubuntu-drivers` behaves the same way - recommending broadcom-sta-dkms but then not installing it. Additionally, looking at the device I see the following (which I also recall from the new installer):

While the bcma module might be in use I have no wireless devices setup.
