[Bernardo Reino <1031831@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bug expired because somebody decides "this is probably irrelevant",
based on the false assumption that kernel 3.8 is in precise now.

Last time I looked (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-
generic), the precise kernel is 3.2.0-51, in both precise and precise-
updates.

People using a LTS version are not expected to use non-standard kernels,
so making a bug in an LTS invalid because a non-LTS kernel may or may
not fix the problem is, to say the least, absurd.

Note that this bug had been confirmed and "triaged" by Ubuntu people.

Title:
  3.5.0-7.7~precise1-generic works except for broadcom bcmwl-kernel-
  source failure

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I signed up to test backports of quantal kernel to precise LTS. Sorry
  I have not tested Quantal on this system yet.

  Fresh clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire One D260
  netbook.

  Major failure during installation: broadcom driver won't install.
  (Notes below) Attaching build log.

  Kernel does run on this hardware, suspend, sound, graphics seem good.

  Wireless non-functional (as expected due to install failure).

  Here are some pertinent lines from Terminal:

  Setting up linux-headers-3.5.0-7 (3.5.0-7.7~precise1) ...
