I am new to Ubuntu. Can anyone please tell me what oem-wireless-dw1550-1160187-dkms package is and what it does? I am always getting the error below whenever I install or upgrade anything.

Errors were encountered while processing: oem-wireless-dw1550-1160187-dkms

When I run dkms status:

intel-i915-backport-3.8-dkms, 3.8.6.0: added
oem-bt-dw1550, 0.1: added
oem-sdcard-o2micro, 1.0: added
oem-wireless-bluetooth-intel-7260, 3.10.20130828: added

The laptop model is Latitude-E7440. Thanks.

  • Could you open terminal and run sudo apt-get install linux-generic dkms then reboot. See if the problem goes away.

This is an issue with the BCM4352 aka Dell 1550 WLAN hardware. People running Linux got so frustrated with the driver that the proposed solution is: rip out the card, buy Intel.

Try 16.04 if possible. You need the latest driver to have a chance with it.
