[Bug 1090031] Re: Unnecessary restricted driver suggested

[Rafael Belmonte]

This is the device information:

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2047
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
	Memory at fbffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
	Kernel modules: bcma

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2047
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
	Memory at fbffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: wl
	Kernel modules: wl, bcma

Originally, the device was working very well with the brcmsmac free module. Now it is working with the wl restricted (unnecessary) module, provided by the bcmwl-kernel-source package.
Software-properties (nor Jockey) should not suggest to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package for this device.

Title:
  Unnecessary restricted driver suggested

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Additional Drivers tab in software-properties suggests me to install a restricted driver as if it would be the only way to have my Wifi working. But this is erroneous, my Wifi is really working very well with no restricted drivers installed.
  This fault was also in jockey in previous Ubuntu releases.
