Public bug reported:
On a 12.04.1 system (3.2 kernel) with full updates, I needed to also
install the Broadcom STA (bcmwl) driver. I tried via Jockey, the
preferred method for Precise and failed because jockey does not pick up
the new bmcwl-kernel-source driver package from the restricted updates.
I had to manually install the package via apt-get to get the driver
loaded as Jockey refused to pick it up, even after updating the db a
couple times.
here's the relevant package info from apt-cache:
ubuntu@201206-11393:~$ apt-cache policy bcmwl-kernel-source
bcmwl-kernel-source
Installed: 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1
Candidate: 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1

This is the output of jockey-text before I manually installed the STA driver:
ubuntu@201206-11393:~$ jockey-text -l

Not in use)
xorg:fglrx_updates - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release
updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
I've also attached a screenshot of jockey-gtk showing the same thing.
AFTER I manually installed/enabled the STA driver, jockey now shows it
in jockey-text:
ubuntu@201206-11393:~$ jockey-text -l
