I encountered the same bug on Ubuntu 12.04, see details in duplicate Bug #1109790.
I tried downgrading bcmwl-kernel-source to the previous version via synaptic, but the process didn't finish (updateing initramfs was the last output line I guess). After about ~20 minutes, I restarted the machine, now Synaptic starts with a warning message (sorry, I didn't record it, it was about some broken cache I guess), then exited. On the second reboot, I could start Synaptic without any problems and succeeded in completely removing bcmwl-kernel-source package. Now eth0 works again and since the Broadcom wifi controller didn't really work in the last 2 years I don't miss the driver too much. In a couple of days I'm going to experiment with this a bit more, please feel free to suggest ideas on how to debug further. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise....(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
