Thank you, Anton, but linux-restricted-modules is no longer being used in karmic.
I have solved the problem by removing linux-backports- modules-2.6.31-1-generic which contained the bogus lib80211.ko. I have no idea why I installed that package in the first place. Now wl.ko loads correctly (and automatically) and its dependencies are correct: updates/dkms/wl.ko: kernel/net/wireless/lib80211.ko Please check whether the failure I described is the expected behaviour and whether a “Conflicts:” should be added to avert this issue. Otherwise, just close this bug. :-) -- Broadcom STA module is not loadable on karmic due to unknown symbols https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
