Title:
Driver suggested by Jockey for BCM4311 on Dell Inspiron E1505 doesn't
work
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
On this Dell Inspiron E1505, Jockey suggests to use the driver in
bcmwl-kernel-source for the BCM4311 wireless card. However, this
driver doesn't work. No wireless options show up in nm-applet. For
wireless to work, I have to remove bcmwl-kernel-source and install
firmware-b43-installer.
Based on my web searches, this problem might be due to the fact that
this laptop model also has a BCM4401 for wired Ethernet. The b44
kernel module uses the ssb kernel module, which locks the BCM43xx
device, preventing the wl kernel module from using it. (I got this
info from http://askubuntu.com/questions/139168/dell-1390-wireless-
bcm4311-ubuntu-12-04-no-wireless-icon-in-unity.) If this is accurate,
then on systems with both a BCM43xx and a BCM44xx Jockey should
suggest firmware-b43-installer instead of bcmwl-kernel-source.
