Just booted 12.04.2 64-bit ubuntu desktop live image (USB) on the Acer Aspire One D260.
ubuntu@ubuntu$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The networking works from the live image. I'm connected to my LAN. However the Install Drivers icon appeared in the top bar and it suggests I might want to install the proprietary Broadcom STA wireless drivers. I don't know the different drivers, but the live boot image is using the "brcmsmac" driver successfully on this hardware. It's my understanding this is the "proper" open source driver for broadcom. I don't understand why Ubuntu suggests the proprietary driver when whatever is already in the kernel works fine, at least on this hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031831 Title: 3.5.0-7.7~precise1-generic works except for broadcom bcmwl-kernel- source failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1031831/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
