broadcom-sta not working after kernel switch [Solved]

Postby maulbongo » Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:25

Hi folks,

Yesterday I encountered a Problem after switching to kernel 3.1
The broadcom-sta didn't work anymore, although I already did blacklisting
Code: Select all
# make broadcom-sta happy
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
blacklist brcmsmac

I did some research an found out, that with the new Kernel 3.1 another Module called bcma is loaded at startup and this prevents the wl module from starting.
So I also blacklisted this
Code: Select all
# make broadcom-sta happy
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist bcma


And after this, all is working like a charme again.
greetings

Thank you for that. I strongly suspect I will need it. :)
