Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-28-generic

Hello,

Since the last kernel update, the proprietary driver Broadcom 802.11
Linux STA wireless driver is no longer working

I've noticed the file /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko
is 0 bytes long

I've seen that by consulting /var/log/jockey.log :

DEBUG: got handler kmod:wl([BroadcomWLHandler, nonfree, disabled] Broadcom STA 
wireless driver)
WARNING: modinfo for module wl failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not open 
/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko: Invalid argument

Best Regards

Thibault
