Title:
  missing network driver update after karmic2lucid upgrade

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After upgrade from 9.10 (netbook HP 2140) to 10.4. Everything went
  correctly except the network driver installation. This HP use
  integrated wifi/bluetooth card, so can't use driver from generic
  kernel:

  08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
  (rev 01)

  When I rebuild driver, after reboot to new system, using command:

  dkms build -m bcmwl -v 5.10.91.9+bdcom

  and later

  dkms install -m bcmwl -v 5.10.91.9+bdcom

  network start working. Looks like some upgrade scripts forgot update
  some information or kernel hook not work when distro upgrade is in
  progress.
