[Bug 1225098] Re: cant install wifi driver. loged as blacklisted | bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

 

Have you attempted to remove it from the blacklist. If I'm correct,
there is an actual file with the name of these modules, and commenting
out the entry (#) should remove that particular module from the
blacklist, thus fixing your problem. Look here for comprehensive
instructions on how to install broadcom wireless drivers
http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-
drivers . As this solves this issue (Shows how to remove it from the
blacklist) this issue is now closed.

** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
