I tried via Jockey, the preferred method for Precise and failed because jockey does not pick up the new bmcwl-kernel-source driver package from the restricted updates. I had to manually install the package via apt-get to get the driver loaded as Jockey refused to pick it up, even after updating the db a couple times. here's the relevant package info from apt-cache: ubuntu@201206-11393:~$ apt-cache policy bcmwl-kernel-source bcmwl-kernel-source Installed: 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1 Candidate: 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1 Version table: *** 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/restricted amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/restricted amd64 Packages This is the output of jockey-text before I manually installed the STA driver: ubuntu@201206-11393:~$ jockey-text -l xorg:fglrx - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) xorg:fglrx_updates - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) I've also attached a screenshot of jockey-gtk showing the same thing.
