Chris, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I only marked it
invalid in that one context. If the b43 driver works, then Ubuntu should
select that driver. That would make this a dupe of bug 1097519, which
states that the wrong driver is used for some chipsets. In one of the
comments I made on that bug yesterday, I mentioned that some users have
found success using broadcom-sta*, and some by using b43, and others by
using brcmsmac.
As I understand it now there are possibly two issues:
1. Ubuntu selecting the wrong driver upon install, as you mentioned. That's
covered by bug 1097519.
2. A certain driver (e.g. broadcom-sta) not working with a chipset it claims
to support. That would be a separate issue.
So what I'm going to do now is:
1. In the Ubuntu project, mark this as a dupe of bug 1097519, because the
working driver needs to be selected by Ubuntu.
2. In the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver project, mark this as incomplete.
If I understand you to mean that the broadcom-sta driver doesn't work with some
chipsets it claims to, then I guess you should mark this bug as New there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)
** Changed in: broadcom-sta
Status: Invalid => Incomplete
