Public bug reported:
To reproduce install lubuntu on my laptop while connected to the internet.
During the install I connected with a usb realtek wifi
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0846:6a00 NetGear, Inc. WG111v2 54 Mbps Wireless
[RealTek RTL8187L]
and then after the install I rebooted with the usb wifi still in and tried to
download the proprietary driver for my broadcom bcm 4322a/b/n provided by
bcmwl-kernel-source.
Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10
ubuntu-drivers-common:
Installed: 1:0.4.10
Candidate: 1:0.4.10
Version table:
*** 1:0.4.10 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I expected like I could on earlier dailies of wily use the usb wifi for
the install and then bring up additional drivers to download and install
bcmwl-kernel source from the additional drivers dialog. Instead I tried
to install the propritary drivers for the bcmwl via the additional
drivers from the prefrences menu in lubuntu but found only intel
microcode package listed for propritary drivers and not bcmwl-kernel-
source to use the internal broadcom wifi as an option to install the
proprietary drivers. Manually installing bcmwl-kernel-source is a work
around.
