[Bug 1821823] Re: No wireless networks displayed for broadcom BCM43142

[Łukasz Zemczak]

I have prepared and uploaded a fix for that into the disco queue. We are
reverting this change as it seems to be a regression from expected
behavior - even man dkms (or checking the manpage on their github
upstream repo) mentions `dkms uninstall` leaving the module in the
'built' state. I suspect that for us this change should be relatively
safe. But who knows.

Not sure if it'll make it for the disco release though. In case we're
respinning, we'll be sure to get that in along with the other changes
(after review).

Thanks for reporting this!

** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  No wireless networks displayed for broadcom BCM43142

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  For 19.04 UB did a minimal install.  I selected the ubiquity
  proprietary option and expected the broadcom driver to be found and
  installed.

  On reboot I could not see any wireless networks.  I went to the
  Additional Drivers window and it stated that the computer was indeed
  using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver and was in use.

  This is a regression - in both 18.04 and 18.10, the same steps also
  installed the driver, and wireless networks were found and could be
  connected to.
