Title:
The Debian control file's "modaliases" is too generic
Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Software-properties-gtk offers wl as the driver for all Broadcom wifi
cards, regardless of whether they are supported or not. This is due
to the modaliases field used by the bcmwl-kernel-source package.
Although in reality I know very little about such things, I'll attach
a proposed debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.modaliases file based on the
info here:
http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README_6.30.223.248.txt
Users are going through needless painful procedures to get the correct
working driver.
