Tom Louwrier, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Title:
  ONEIRIC fails on in-place upgrade over wifi

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  hi guys,

  Did an in-place upgrade from Natty amd64 today on my Dell Latitude 131L.
  Two failures: b43fwcutter and flashplugin-installer.

  After plugging in a lan wire I could easily reinstall b43fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer which restored my wifi in seconds.
  I noticed the installer looks for the correct firmware online. Now if is first takes down the current driver and disables my internet access, logically it would fail to find any.
  The solution here would be to change the order of things: look for the correct components online first, then take down the active driver, replace it and bring up the wifi again with the new version.

  Because of this relatively small hickup, the upgrade bombed out before
  cleaning up properly. I rebooted into Oneiric just fine, and used
  Janitor to remove most Natty leftovers. Still, thing should be
  smoother here.

  regards
  Tom
