Upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 now wireless does not work.

Question

When I try to install addition driver that is required this error message comes up:-

"Sorry, the installation of this driver failed.

Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log"

What additional driver? Can you install that driver when connected to the internet over a wired connection? — Rinzwind, May 02 '12 at 19:59

You need to remove and reinstall the Broadcom driver. The easiest way to do that is:

//remove the old driver

$ sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

//install the new one

$ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

// reboot your system

$ sudo reboot

Then it should work.

Why do you think it's a Broadcom driver? – Andrejs Cainikovs May 03 '12 at 18:14
