[Bug 1065827] Re: Kubuntu 12.10 bcmwl install failure

[Timo Jyrinki]

I'd think something along this should work:
1. Put http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/ (or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/precise/daily-live/current/) i386 version onto bootable USB stick
2. Replace the bcml-kernel-source .deb at pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ with a .deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1/+build/4226259
3. Boot.
4. I guess the installation needs to be mimicked with dpkg -i, but then again the actual installation/image bug supposedly was only in quantal and already fixed, and the remaining bug that needs now verification in precise is solely about the driver package itself.

  look for it or doesn't find it and tries to download from
