Hi,

I'm using KUbuntu 14.04.4 with kernel 4.2.0-27-generic.

After installing bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb the following way :

$ sudo gdebi -n bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb :

The NetworkManager keeps on asking for the password of the wifi connection but fails to connect.

Can you help me ?

I'd be glad to add further information to this issue, just tell me how :-)
