Same problem on Ubuntu 11.04. From the desktop live CD running to try it out, the system recognizes that it needs the Broadcom STA driver and installs it from the CD, with no Ethernet connection plugged in. But after installing the OS onto the hard drive (with the Ethernet connection that it insisted upon before starting installation), the system gives the "blacklisted" error when it tries to install the wifi driver after reboot. I'm writing this bug report from that computer with the live CD running and the Broadcom proprietary driver installed, so the driver on the CD is definitely ok. The repository where the actual installed hard-drive system looks must have a bad version of the driver, perhaps a regression to a prior version by mistake.
The computer is a Dell Inspiron 1764. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511379 Title: Jockey fails to install Broadcom STA wireless driver (BCM4311) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
