Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, it fails when upgrading the b43 driver, which probably because it needs to download new firmwares from the internet after the old firmwares has been deleted, so wireless network is inaccessible while it tries to download. The upgrade manager told me that it failed to install/configure b43-fwcutter, it will continue, but after I click the continue button, it said some software failed to upgrade and quit. I manually copied firmwares to /lib/firmwares/b43, and now my wireless network works again, my question is, how can I resume the upgrade process? is it even possible?

BTW: This problem happens every time when I try to upgrade, it's really annoying, I have to remind myself to plug in a wired network before upgrade.


Thanks.
