Hello NixOS-ers,
I try to install and load the "wl.ko" kernel module on my fresh install
of Nixos, but I seem to be doing something wrong.
Please let me show you first what I tried:
I installed the broadcom-sta package:
$ nix-env -i broadcom-sta
installing `broadcom-sta-_5_100_82_112-3.6'
The module is now indeed the store:
$ find / -name wl.ko
/nix/store/.../3.6.0/kernel/net/wireless/wl.ko
Though all other modules seem to be in 3.2.30/kernel/... which seems to
corresponds with the kernel I am currently running:
$ uname -r
3.2.30
When I try to load the module, this fails:
$ modprobe wl.ko
FATAL: Module wl.ko not found
I also added "wl" to boot.kernelModules, and when I run:
$ nixos-rebuild test
no errors are reported. But iwconfig does not show my wireless card.
My conclusion is that I either need to upgrade my kernel or need to
install an older version of the broadcom-sta package, am I right? How
should I do this?
My second question is, why do I not see an error when I test my
configuration?
Thanks,
Maarten Faddegon
