Lot of thanks to Seth Forshee for his advices : After manual removal of package 'linux-headers-3.5.0-25' which I had previously manually installed :
-- Installation of package 'linux-headers-generic' triggered the installation of packages 'linux-headers-3.5.0-25' and 'linux- headers-3.5.0-25-generic' -- Reinstallation of the package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' SUCCEEDED with following messages : Unpacking replacement bcmwl-kernel-source ... Setting up bcmwl-kernel-source (5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu3) ... Loading new bcmwl-5.100.82.112+bdcom DKMS files... Building only for 3.5.0-25-generic Building for architecture x86_64 Building initial module for 3.5.0-25-generic Done. wl: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - No original module exists within this kernel - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/3.5.0-25-generic/updates/dkms/ depmod.... DKMS: install completed. -- Immediately, my wireless connexion started working (and it is still working correctly). Finally, I suppose that the cause of this bug is : - NOT the Linux kernel 3.5.0-23.35, - but the package 'bcmwl-kernel-source', which should contain an additional explicit dependency to the package 'linux-headers-generic'. Can you confirm ? If my supposition proves true, I would like that someone closes this bug on 'Linux kernel' and opens a bug on package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' with a more precise title. Who should perform each one of these 2 actions ? Thank you in advance for you answers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1127836 Title: Linux kernel 3.5.0-23.35 does NOT activate Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1127836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
