For me the following fixed my wlan problems: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta- source sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer or sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer restart your ubuntu after the installation, now your wlan should be working. Hope this helped! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989610 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 fails to install broadcom STA drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/989610/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
