[Bug 655111] Re: "Additional drivers" propose b43, fails w/o useful message

[Fabián Rodríguez]

** Description changed:

  After a fresh Maverick RC install, Jockeygtk (System > Administration >
  Additional Drivers) proposes to install either b43 or STA drivers for
  the BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) wireless adapter in a
  Dell Inspiron 910 (Mini 9), BIOS is A00.
  
  The attached error message appears, repeated attempts to enable the
  driver then fail.
  
  Attempting to install from commnand line shows the actual problem:
  
- magicfab at 910:~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer 
- [sudo] password for magicfab: 
+ magicfab at 910:~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
+ [sudo] password for magicfab:
