You can get this to work in 12.04 or 11.10 by following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric under the wireless section. Careful on the typo in the PPA! It should be: mpoddroid (with two d's)
You can get this working in 12.10 if you use the 12.04 PPA. You can do this by following the guide posted above and then editing the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and replacing all the instances of "quantal" with "precise" then there is some small issue with the device being managed. You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart network manager I believe. Not really sure about that part. For Developers: The chipset should be supported by the b43 driver in kernels after 3.2.0 (I believe). However, in Ubuntu 12.10 and all previous versions the package firmware-b43-installer refuses to install because this chipset 14e4:4331 is not listed in the chipsets that the package thinks it should support. The above guide resolves this issue. The package firmware-b43-installer should allow installation of itself for this chipset. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798726 Title: Macbook 8,1 WLAN not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/798726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
