Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Maverick
bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5
When I boot and then log in, wireless does not connect. If I then use
nm-applet, I see that wireless is disabled and also impossible to enable
(greyed out).
The only way I have found to fix this is to open up jockey-gtk, remove
Broadcom STA and then activate Broadcom STA. This is forgotten after
every single boot, so I have to go through this 3 - 5 minute process
every time I boot if I want to access my wireless network.
I've tried rmmod-ing and then modprobe-ing wl as an alternative, but
that doesn't seem to do anything useful.
This is a regression compared to Lucid and Karmic. Wireless was flawless
before I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick.
