Need to get my wireless network adapter working on Ubuntu 14.1, but when trying to install the required package bcmwl-kernel-source
, the "apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
" installation command hangs on asking repetitively for a Ubuntu cdrom installation disk mount even after one is provided. Here is the exact terminal output that I am receiving:
$ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

I tried mounting my installation cdrom as requested, but after pressing enter it seems that the installation unmounts the cdrom and loops back to request that I mount it again. Can't get out of this loop. Why does the installation of this package reqest an installation cd? Other packages install fine without requesting this.
