Package: broadcom-sta-common
Version: 5.10.91.9-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: unknow
Ok, I think that I have this somewhat figured out. Since I haven't debugged at
this level (I'm not a programmer by trade or claim), I think I have found a bug
that needs to be reported to someone, but I don't know how or to whom. Does
this go to a Debian Developer (I did use the Debian package) or does this need
to get to a Broadcom developer?
/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf
# original contents was the line immediately below
# install wl /sbin/modprobe -qr b43 ssb; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl
$CMDLINE_OPTS
install wl /sbin/modprobe -qr b44 ssb; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl
$CMDLINE_OPTS
My best guess, was that the reason my wifi isn't working that it's related to
the module ssb. I can not keep the module from being loaded and I can not
remove the module. After reading some about blacklisting
http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModuleBlacklisting I saw that I was not entering
'blacklist ssb' in the correct file and I followed the instruction the the URL.
I had previously noticed that there was some dependency of b44 on ssb and I
couldn't remove ssb until b44 was out of the way. I decided to (I don't really
know why) look at /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf and noticed the
removal of b43 module instead of b44 module. So when I changed 'b43' to 'b44' I
then had wifi. As noted in a previous post, b44 is my wired ethernet.
The only thing that might be a concern, is that my wireless device is named
eth1 instead of wlan0. Not that it really matters but in keeping convention, my
wireless should be wlanX not ethX.
