Thread: Clean install of 12.04


i've tried 2 clean installs of 12.04 (desktop/64bit). both on same machine/same hardware (two different harddrives). both installs went error-free, after completion, onboard ethernet connection shows in network manager, installed sprint gsm broadband modem, installed broadcom bcm4311 802.11.b/g wlan not, ie: no "wireless network" entries. "hardware drivers" shows broadcom sta wireless "blob" driver loaded , active. lspci shows card correctly. lsmod shows wl module loaded.

second install added mate repo , installed mate (i detest unity/gnome3), , mate's network manager doesn't show wireless entries either.

dell laptop these 2 installs done on, runs ubuntu 10.04/64bit flawlessly same hardware seems borked on 12.04.. since upgrade systems on lts versions, , clean installs of new os version, install apps via markings file old lts install, i'd hoped going painless install i've experienced 8.04 , 10.04.. sure hope ubuntu isn't regressing excellent progress it's made in last several years.. apart unity, is... missing??
