[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1910875] Re: Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04
@jsarka, Thanks for those clear instructions! As it turns out I already
figured out (I hope) how to revert to kernel 5.4. That has brought back
my wifi. If other things go bonkers, I'll get 5.8 back and follow your
steps.
The bump to 5.8 broke several things on my system, which is why I first
tried downgrading kernels. I deliberately picked an LTS, so I'm very
surprised that I got a kernel bump that skips three point releases
without any warning.

Title:
Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal
20.04
Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First, I suspect this may be the same bug as Bug #1905211 "package
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed focal fossa in
kernel v5.9" because I got the same error "installed bcmwl-kernel-
source package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit
status 10". However, I wanted to make a separate report because I am
still on kernel v5.8. Please merge these threads if it seems like
they're the same bug.
Anyway, my problem is this:
The last time I installed a tranche of system updates, I got a "System
software problem detected" dialog and submitted the crash report. The
next time I booted up my computer, the Broadcom wifi device was not
recognized. The wifi had worked fine up until that point.
I tried to manually uninstall and reinstall the driver using dpkg with
the bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5) package
downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com (the machine in question does not
have a wired ethernet connection). dpkg produced the following
output:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1910875] Re: Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04
I'm new to Linux, so bear with me, but...Within the last hour or so I installed a bunch of system updates in KDE Discover, and suddenly wifi stopped working after the enforced restart. By "stopped working", I mean I have no internet connection via wifi and `nmcli dev` no longer lists my wireless device "wlp2so" *at all*. I'm on an Apple MacBookPro9,2 running 20.04 with KDE. "Driver Manger" tells me I'm using "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)", for the BCM4331 device. I tried clicking "Do not use the device" and then re-enabling it but I got some cryptic error. Upon re-opening Driver Manager it again says I'm using the proprietary driver. I hope this can be quickly fixed, since this machine is now internet- free except for the occasional times I can plug into ethernet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910875 Title: Broadcom wireless driver failed to install with code 10 on focal 20.04 Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: First, I suspect this may be the same bug as Bug #1905211 "package bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed focal fossa in kernel v5.9" because I got the same error "installed bcmwl-kernel- source package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10".
