I checked if compat-wireless is installed, and I think it's not. (A quock search for "compat-wireless" in synaptic produced a bunch of linux-backports-modules-cw-* packages, none of which is installed.)
I started experimenting again with bcmwl (see comment #3). I tried to install it again (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1), but Ubuntu froze while configuring the install. Also shortly after rebooting aptdaemon tried to finish the unsuccessful installation, and Ubuntu froze again, so now I will have to uninstall the package before aptdaemon can mess up my session again. I struggled a bit to uninstall the package, the thing that finally worked was to boot into an earlier kernel version and try uninstalling from console via apt-get. ... After reading through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and a bit of experimenting, I finnally managed to install the linux-firmware-nonfree package, and now the wifi funcionality is back. (The chipset is BCM4311, PCI id is 14e4:4311.) -- 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
