Title:
firmware-b43legacy-installer errors "17: missing"
Status in b43-fwcutter package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in b43-fwcutter source package in Oneiric:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
[Impact]
For broadcom cards with a device id of 4324 the post-installation script will
crash.
[Development Fix]
The script is missing a space before the ] in the test syntax and this was
fixed by
adding that in debian, which was synced in precise.
[Stable Fix]
Same as Dev Fix
[Test Case]
You need a broadcom card with a PCI id of 14e4:4324 for this!
1) Try to install the package from the archive, notice it failing to install.
2) enable oneiric-proposed and refresh cache
3) Try to install the package again which should work now.
[Regression Potential]
The fix only touches the broken piece of the code so wost case is that it
will still fail.
[original description]
I'm trying to get wireless to work on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop.
It used to work in 10.04 and 10.10, but not in 11.04 and 11.10
Following instructions from
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
I installed b43-fwcutter package.
However, when I try to install firmware-b43legacy-installer I get the follow
error:
~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer
[: 17: missing ]
[: 17: missing ]
No supported card found.
Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver.
Aborting.
If I try to install firmware-b43-installer package then I get the following
error:
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:014-9) ...
An unsupported BCM4301, BCM4303, BCM4306 or BCM4306/2 device was found.
Use b43legacy firmware (firmware-b43legacy-installer package) instead.
Aborting.
This error is understandable since Dell Latitude D600 has BMC4306.
Therefore firmware-b43legacy-installer should install correctly.
