[Bug 1287499] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

 

This problem occurred when I first attempted to enable 'Additional
Drivers' to enable use of the wireless card.

The driver Broadcom Corporation: AirPort Extreme 
Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source(proprietary)
seems to have caused the problem.


I have not been able to replicate the issue.  Enabled and disabled the driver multiple times without replication of the problem.

Updated to mainstream kernel 3.13.5-031305-generic  still no issues
enabling and disabling said driver.

This seems to have been a fluke.  Currently wireless is working well, no
repeated issues.
