I have used the driver on my 2011 macbook air for a couple of months and I haven't experienced any regressions whatsoever.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I have also tested the backported kernel in Xenial, and the module builds and works well (as with 4.4).

The verification of the Stable Release Update for bcmwl has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

What release does your macbook air run? If its not Xenial does that mean this is verified for Yakkety?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Alberto, could you please confirm whether this has been verified for yakkety?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

@Brian: my macbook runs xenial. I also used a backported yakkety kernel for testing, and it worked.

@Steve: I can probably install Yakkety on an external drive, and use it with my macbook to verify this, since I don't have enough space on the ssd.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I have finally been able to install Yakkety and to test the driver in proposed. I am happy to confirm that the driver works correctly, and I haven't noticed any regressions with it.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for trusty for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I forgot to mention that the fix also works on Trusty with no regressions, same as on the other Ubuntu releases.

[Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley)]

Trusty release has gone end of support for this package, so marking this as such.

Newer releases will have this fix though.
