In a live session 'ubuntu-drivers install' indicates that "All the available drivers are already installed". Additionally, the bcma kernel module is loaded and used by my broadcom device. However, no wireless device is currently available and the "Additional Drivers" section of software-properties-gtk is somewhat confusing because the two radio buttons say "Using dkms..." and "Do not use device" but "Do not use device" is selected. (I wouldn't expect the words "Using" if it isn't being used.)
Using software-properties-gtk to install the additional drivers did not end up allowing the wireless device to be available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2013236 Title: Failed to install bcmwl wireless driver during the install Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Specifically for Lunar - using a Macbook Air 2012, its wireless driver was not enabled even though I ticked the wireless tickbox on the installer.
