For the record, this is the debdiff. ** Attachment added: "hardy debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18105627/jockey.hardy-wl.debdiff
** Description changed: Fresh install of kubuntu Intrepid alpha 5, then full update. Attempt detection of wlan hardware with Hardware Drivers Manager, which finds and activates "wl", and also proposes fwcutter usage to get "Broadcom B43 wireless driver". This downloads the firmware without complaint, and finally requests reboot. After reboot the B43 driver is still not checked. This procedure repeats, but no check of the B43 results, and wlan does not see any networks. On same computer using kubuntu 8.04 all works fine + + SRU justification: The current hardy-proposed kernel (2.6.24-21) now + contains the wl driver as well, and we need a GUI friendly way to + configure it (relative to b43). "wl" was not shipped yet with hardy + final (it didn't even exist at that time), thus we need to supply the + corresponding handler in a jockey SRU as well. + + Test case: On a system with a Broadcom wireless card, open jockey. You + should see the "B43" or the "Broadcom STA" driver, or both if your card + is supported by both. Only one should be displayed as active/in use at a + time. Try to enable the other one, reboot, and make sure your wifi + works. -- wl vs. b43 are not properly configured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
