[Bug 1030489] Re: Additional Drivers says Wifi is not in use when using open driver

[Aurélien Leblond]

Hello,

Yes, the wifi is working.
This bug report is only about the information given by the former "Additional Driver".

In the screenshot attached:
- My graphic card is working, and Additional Driver shows that I'm using the Open Source Driver.
- The same way, the Additional Driver should say that the Wifi is in use, and that I'm using the BRCMSAC driver, instead of saying "The Device is not working".

Hope that makes the bug report clearer.
