Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: restricted-manager
This morning I booted our Lenovo Ideapad S10-2 using an 11.04 USB that I
made from a Beta1 ISO (storing data in a temporary area). It said there
were proprietary drivers available, and offered Broadcom. I chose it,
and it started to install. It got about 2/3 of the way (according to the
progress bar), and then stalled. I let it sit for several minutes, but
the USB activity light was not flashing so I gave up. The system was not
hung, so I choose to Reboot.
After rebooting, which included a "long" (~30 sec?) pause with no
activity, wireless was not available. The Drivers app said the Broadcom
driver was installed but "not in use".
I did a full shutdown, and started up again. Again had a ~30 second
pause with no activity at one point, immediately after which the console
screen appeared (last entry is initializing CUPS), and then the boot
finished.
At this point, the wi-fi driver seems to be working fine.
lspci reports it as Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev
01)
I don't remember if I have tried any earlier versions of Ubuntu on this
netbook.
