Title:
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1: bcmwl kernel module
failed to build, crashes on install from Ubuntu 12.04.3 to .4 updates
on Asus G750JW-DB71 laptop
Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The software updates for critical package bcmwl install FAILED. I
expected it to NOT FAIL.
Initial install on Asus G750JW-DB71 notebook was Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
from CD (because 12.04.4 and 13.10 would hang while installing). It
had no Broadcom wireless driver working so I manually added the
BCM43xx driver found in hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95.tar.gz
and got the wireless working.
At this point I checked for software updates keeping the critical
security updates (which included this package whose install failed)
but uncheck all the recommended updates. I also previously tried it
without the BCM manual driver installation where it also fails but the
jockey log file ended with complaints about a missing wl driver (see
attached jockey.log.1 file).
I installed on the internal WDC 1TB disk using partitions 2 & 3; partitioned
as follows :
sda1 101MB NTFS
sda2 10GB EXT4 / for Ubuntu
sda3 13744 GB linux-swap for Ubuntu
Asus ROG G750JW-DB71 Notebook
