You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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. ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: patch -- "Modaliases" field missing from debian control file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
