I can provide a patch for what I was saying in comment #16, but I think it is just a one liner in the two postrm files. I think it would be sensible for software-properties-gtk that the firmware is only deleted when the package is purged. This, modaliases in comment #2 and a reboot patch would be an acceptable solution to this bug.

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.
