** Description changed:
Binary package hint: jockey-gtk
When running the Hardware Drivers program, it fails to install the
Broadcom STA proprietary drivers. I can select the driver, but when I go
to click the activate button, I authenticate and then the "Downloading
and Installing drivers" or whatever dialog pops up for the briefest of
seconds (to the point that I can't read the message). Once it has
disappeared, I am returned to the dialog to choose which driver to
install and the driver is not installed. I'm running the alpha 5 Karmic
release.
Here's the apt-cache policy report for my version:
jockey-gtk:
Installed: 0.5.3-0ubuntu3
Candidate: 0.5.3-0ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 0.5.3-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
As a result the only way I can connect to the network is via a plugged
in ethernet cable. Thank you.
EDIT: I should also add that it worked fine in the live CD and installed
the driver, the only problem being that at bug #409166. The fact that it
worked is what prompted me to install to the HDD.
+
+ EDIT 2: I just removed the bcmwl-kernel-source package ($ sudo apt-get
+ remove bcmwl-kernel-source) and it must've fetched the drivers from the
+ internet this time. The program acted as expected and installed the
+ drivers, even showing the correct "drivers correctly installed" message.
+ If anyone else is having a similar problem, this would be my advice to
+ resolve the problem, but it's a bit of a hack really.
