Public bug reported:
On fresh 14.10 install on the first GUI run in KDE the KDE Driver
Manager suggested installation of bcmwl-kernel-source (see attached
screenshot)for my Broadcom Corporation BCM4311. After successful
installation of the package and restart, my system got
Jan 4 23:32:13 Beatles kernel: [ 19.485177] wl driver 6.30.223.248 (r487574)
failed with code 21
Jan 4 23:32:13 Beatles kernel: [ 19.485208] ------------[ cut here
]------------
Jan 4 23:32:13 Beatles kernel: [ 19.485242] kernel BUG at
include/net/cfg80211.h:3343!
full description of the message in attached file (syslog_extracted.log).
For some reason this also affects the driver for my NIC and my laptop
got out of any possible network connection. So instead of configuring
the wireless card it left me with only "lo" interface :(. I would expect
properly configured modules for WAN and LAN....
Luckily
apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
restores the previous state so I can submit this bug via LAN.
Now I'm running Ubuntu 14.10 but the same happened half an year ago
when I tried to install 14.04 on this laptop.
