Debdiff with fixed firmware-b43legacy-installer.postinst ** Description changed:
+ [Impact] + For broadcom cards with a device id of 4324 the post-installation script will crash. + + [Development Fix] + The script is missing a space before the ] in the test syntax and this was fixed by + adding that in debian, which was synced in precise. + + [Stable Fix] + Same as Dev Fix + + [Test Case] + You need a broadcom card with a PCI id of 14e4:4324 for this! + 1) Try to install the package from the archive, notice it failing to install. + 2) enable oneiric-proposed and refresh cache + 3) Try to install the package again which should work now. + + [Regression Potential] + The fix only touches the broken piece of the code so wost case is that it will still fail. + + [original description] I'm trying to get wireless to work on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop. It used to work in 10.04 and 10.10, but not in 11.04 and 11.10 Following instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx I installed b43-fwcutter package. However, when I try to install firmware-b43legacy-installer I get the follow error: ~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer [: 17: missing ] [: 17: missing ] No supported card found. Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver. Aborting. If I try to install firmware-b43-installer package then I get the following error: Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:014-9) ... An unsupported BCM4301, BCM4303, BCM4306 or BCM4306/2 device was found. Use b43legacy firmware (firmware-b43legacy-installer package) instead. Aborting. This error is understandable since Dell Latitude D600 has BMC4306. Therefore firmware-b43legacy-installer should install correctly. ~$ lspci -nvn | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:165d] (rev 01) 02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 03) - --- + --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 - Architecture: i386 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 + Architecture: i386DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) Package: b43-fwcutter 1:014-9 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Tags: oneiric Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare ** Patch added: "b43-fwcutter_014-9ubuntu0.1.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/909996/+attachment/2717867/+files/b43-fwcutter_014-9ubuntu0.1.debdiff ** Changed in: b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: In Progress => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909996 Title: firmware-b43legacy-installer errors "17: missing" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/909996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
