[Bug 545709] [NEW] bcmwl-kernel-source 5.10.91 and BCM4312 wireless

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Wireless works under Windows 7 and under Ubuntu 9.04 with the restricted
driver.  The upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 appeared to install the Wireless
fine.  I reinstalled 9.10 amd 64 from CD and there was no wireless.

After installing all the updates there was now an option to download and
activate the wireless driver.  Upon doing so the Wireless utility in the
upper right shows the wireless as an option but shows that it is
disabled.  After re-installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package and
rebooting the system the wireless begins to work but only until the
system is shut down.  Then, the bcmwl-kernel-source must again be
reinstalled and the system rebooted for the wireless to work.  The
installation and rebooting is only a temporary fix the change does not
hold.
