[Bug 1391407] Re: package firmware-b43-installer 1:018-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4

 

Myself and ShadowDave came across this error today when we wiped clean
my MacBook Pro and installed the 14.04 LTS. Everything went smoothly
until trying to install the additional drivers needed for my internal
wifi. The solution I found for mine was on this page:
(http://askubuntu.com/questions/453252/setup-problems-ubuntu-14-04-wifi-
on-macbookpro-13-3-w-retina-dual-boot) and it was the solution posted by
username (http://askubuntu.com/users/263895/back-slash) about halfway
down the page. I followed the instructions to a "tee", and so far my
wifi is up and running stable.
