I just installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my MacBook 3,1 and found no wireless connection. Using KPackageKit I activated Broadcom b43 because it had already been selected for me. When I subsequently tried to activate Broadcom STA, however, I was returned with an error. After reading Jockey log I removed the wrong driver and reinstalled all drivers so that I can activate the correct one. It hasn't work even though KPackageKit now shows that I have installed:

bcmwl-kernel-source
bcmwl-modaliases
broadcom-sta-common
broadcom-sta-source

According to the log it appears as if there are conflicts but I don't know how to rectify it. I'm completely new to the platform, just started using Kubuntu 2 days ago.

I'll appreciate any advice anyone can give. Thanks.

10.10 is no longer supported. Any particular reason to use a unsupported release? Can you add the output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net to the question. – mikewhatever Oct 18 '12 at 9:37
