Also something more complicated! My issue has steps you see, it has layers. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2394828 [19:25] !b43 [19:25] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [19:26] looks like you need to use the sta driver [19:26] so you'd grab bcmwl-kernel-source [19:27] which means you use the wl driver [19:27] if you want to blacklist anything, it would be b43, ssb, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, and bcma [19:28] gbe: ^^ [19:29] that said, i ignored most of what you posted and just paid attention to your device id, following the instructions i know are canonical rather than someone's suggestion of what might be right [19:29] if you really want to remove the blacklisting, you can just `sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf` and remove the blacklist lines, but that's not what you want, i assure you [19:35] oh, I figured there would be some way to remove just the b43 and ssb lines from that file. I assume that's what was inserted into it? [20:09] how do I reverse this?? sudo -i echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [20:11] gbe: sudo sed -i '/^blacklist b43$/d' /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [20:11] thank you [20:52] Hi I'm faiing to get my broadcom wifi to work, and nothing online helping. For instance this link classes my device as "Special Case #1 - Uses bcma and brcmsmac driver combination. Required firmware is installed by default in the package linux-firmware." https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers [20:54] failing* heres another old post discussing issues with broadcom https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214110. Again they say its a speacial case. This time that "Special case #1: This device uses the driver combination bcma and brcmsmac. It shouldn’t be necessary to install anything at all. Required firmware is installed by default in the package linux-firmware. In a few cases, it is necessary to blacklist b43 and ssb:" [20:55] I tried blacklisting b43 and ssb but it didn't work. Is there any better advice then "you shouldn't need to do anything" [21:01] More details for my model are: BCM-4313 [14e4:4727] (rev 01). I'm going to try installing bcmwl-kernel-source, hopefully it doesn't break anything (y) [21:17] gbe: why don't you just follow the instructions i gave you? in general, reading what people post online (including the forums) should not be taken as better advice than official documentation [21:22] sorry I'm new, I'm not sure I understood you correctly. You said there was a conflict of drivers? This tab had to be restarted and I lost your last entries.
