Back onto software-properties-gtk, the "this device is not working" is very unreliable. I'm not sure how it works this out, but it doesn't seem to account for the firmware being manually installed or through e.g. the linux-firmware-nonfree package which also contains b43 firmware.

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.
