[Bug 379052] Re: [regression] Broadcom 4312 Not working in 9.10 (Kernel 2.6.30 restricted modules ?)

[captainslog]

Had the same problem on my Lenovo 300 C200. Curiously I can add the
Broadcom BCM 4311 wifi driver from the live CD
(System/Administration/Hardware Drivers) but when I installed the beta,
the option to add this driver doesnt exist. i.e.
System/Administration/Hardware Drivers doesnt show any propriety drivers
to add.

As a workaround I rebooted from the live CD again, activated the driver
and THEN installed again by clicking the install icon on the desktop. I
didn't choose to install from the menu.

After this the driver shows up but I can't get it to activate. I
followed the solution above and reinstalled bcmwl-kernel-source from the
synaptic package manager after choosing the install CD as a repository
source and now the driver can be activated.

A 2 minute fix and all is good
