Public bug reported:
The updated version of the bcmwl-kernel-source is broken and not working
at all. To Explain, I installed version 11.04 and had no wireless so I
downloaded version 5.60.48.36 and the wireless started working. I then
did a ubuntu update manager option to get the latest version and it
downloaded a newer version supported by ubuntu (version 5.100 or 6.100 I
can't remember exactly). My wireless quit working all together and I
couldn't get it to work at all until I un-installed that version and put
the old one back on. I then upgraded to 11.10 and it updated me to the
new version which doesn't work so I un-installed the new version and
11.10 would not let me install the old version (also a fresh install of
11.10 won't work either). It told me I had to install from the update
center download. So it boiled down that in order to fix my internet
wireless issue I have to download a driver that you support that doesn't
work just to get my wireless working which won't work. I tried to force
the old driver to install at the terminal and that failed it returned
that en-US-utf8 is not installed on the machine. According to windows my
card reports as two entries in Device Manager. Broadcom 440x 10/100
Integrated Controller and Broadcom 802.11g Network adapter. Don't know
if that will help since I un-installed ubuntu due to it being useless to
me because no internet. I desperately want to put it back on, but need a
working network driver.
