Confirmed! Just struggled a few evenings (spare time is rare) to get rid of my last Windoze compi and install Linux on an old Asus laptop. WiFi (broadcom) just did not want to run. Neither with Ubuntu chosen driver (b43) nor with proprietary driver (wl). Solution for me: new install WITHOUT proprietary stuff checked, (sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source,) sudo apt-get install b43- fwcutter firmware-b43-installer, reboot But to find the correct solution/commands ... oh dear! -- now I only need to find solution (ubuntu14) why the computer keeps running but shows only a black screen after the screensaver hit after selected time. As soon as the screen blanks there is no reaction to mouse/keyboard/anything but the power button? (and I thought Linux is user/noob friendly )
