I have been troubleshooting my HP EliteBook with BCM4322 14e4:432b wireless card. I am using Linux kernel 3.9 and I have almost found the solution. Reading on the Linux Wireless site, I found that the b43 and wl drivers should work at least somewhat with the card. I was unable to get things working using kmod-wl, and so I moved on to working with b43. I followed the guide here, and got it working using these lines of code:
modprobe -r b43 bcma modprobe -r brcmsmac bcma modprobe -r wl modprobe b43
When I restart the computer, I have to do this again to get things working. I know I am supposed to blacklist the unwanted modules, but adding brcmsmac and wl to the blacklist.conf file does not seem to work. How can I get this to work permanently?
brcmsmac
andwl
toblacklist.conf
- Did you add them asinstall brcmsmac /bin/false
orblacklist brcmsmac
? What happens if you try the other method?
