Public bug reported:
The b43 module is not listed as an option by the "additional drivers"
section of the software-properties-gtk utility. This takes its
information from the ubuntu-drivers-common package and a bug has been
reported against that package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1186779 ).
However, if I'm reading things correctly, the firmware-b43-installer
package could solve this by providing a modaliases field in the debian
control file. For example, the bcmwl-kernel-source package has the
line:
Modaliases: wl(pci:v000014E4d*sv*sd*bc02sc80i*)
This would be scanned by the ubuntu-drivers-common package and
consequently appear in software-properties-gtk.
