Public bug reported: Upon upgrade to lucid, wireless for my bcm4312 no longer works. While there are probably some workarounds, people with this chipset (i.e. Dell Mini 10v) should have a seamless upgrade experience. This means: it still just works after upgrade.
If this is not possible, jockey should popup (as it does for other things) to suggest the installation of the appropriate firmware/driver/whatever. Clicking on the "Activate" button then installs the correct drivers, prompting the user to connect to the internet through other means if they are not connected. I tried launching jockey myself but it just said the activation failed and pointed me to a log file /var/log/jockey.log : 2010-02-03 21:47:21,538 WARNING: modinfo for module wl failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module wl 2010-02-03 21:47:21,540 WARNING: /sys/module/wl/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind wl driver 2010-02-03 21:47:21,617 DEBUG: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: blacklisted Clearly this is not an optimal experience. (I wouldn't mind a pointer towards the correct way to get wireless working for this chip, but work-arounds are not what this bug is about. Please email me seperately).
