[Bug 655111] Re: BCM4312 not supported by "Additional drivers". B43 is proposed, fails w/o useful message, "Not supported low-power chip"

[Simon741]

Strange thing happening here: I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 a first time
on my new MBP 7.1. Wireless worked out of the box (although was a bit
unstable).

After having played around a bit, I re-installed everything, this time
connecting it to the internet (ethernet) during the install, and
activating the "download updates during install" option. With that
activated, the wireless didn't work any more and I was unable to install
either of the two drivers. The above proposed work-around didn't work.

I installed the system a third time, again connecting it to the internet
and downloading the updates during the install. The same happened again.

Now I've installed it a forth time, this time without connecting to the
internet. This time again, everything works out of the box (STA driver).

Can anyone reproduce this?
