Christopher, I just tried Kubuntu 15.04 for AMD64. The problem no longer exists and the 'wl' module is not installed at all.
Was this fixed but this bug was not updated, or perhaps it was fixed as part of another bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313221 Title: 14e4:4320 "Install third party software" during install installs wl for BCM4306 when it's not supported Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I was installing Xubuntu 14.04. It said 'Configuring bcmwl-kernel- source amd64)' and in the details "DKMS: install completed." and it just froze there. To continue installation I had to open up a terminal and execute 'sudo killall -9 modprobe' due to the wl module being installed when it doesn't support my 4306 card. I had to add it to the module blacklist. WORKAROUND: During the installation, do not select "Install third party software". lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network 06:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) Subsystem: Linksys WMP54GS v1.0 802.11g Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster [1737:0015] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18 Region 0: Memory at f8100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1313221/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
