Title:
15.10 does not offer broadcom drivers for BCM4360 wireless on macbook
air
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Installed Wily from todays daily (4.2.0-16.19). After booting, I am
unable to use the wireless device. The wifi is a broadcom BCM4360
based device on a late 2013 Macbook Air.
Wily wants to load b43 and dmesg only shows this:
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4360 WLAN found (core revision 42)
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNL ]
Netman does not list the wifi device at all.
lspci says:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
If I use ubuntu-drivers, it also does not list the broadcom device.
I had to manually install bcmwl-kernel-source from Restricted via apt.
Once dkms had worked it's magic, I was able to use the wifi device on my macbook under Wily.
So expected behaviour:
running ubuntu-drivers will show/install the necessary proprietary
bits for the BMC43xx device.
Observed behaviour:
ubuntu-drivers does not list the BCM43xx device at all.
