[Kernel-packages] [Bug 2013236] Re: b43 driver conflicts with bcmwl driver for some Broadcom devices
I got it working on a 2015 MacBook Air 7.2 From a 23.04 fresh installation it didin't work neither with a 22.04 fresh installation. I tried all the tricks I found over internet and nothing worked. I then had first to install an old Ubuntu 20.04 and block the version of the following packages bcmwl-kernel-source linux-headers-5-10.0.84 linux-headers-5-10.0.84-generic linux-modules-5-10.0.84-generic. Now I have a fresh 23.04 version with Wifi on a Broadcom BCM 4360 14e4:43a0. It seems defintely to be a bug since it worked perfectly out-of-the-box with other distros such as Fedora or Arch. ** Attachment added: "Capture d’écran du 2023-09-24 15-43-57.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/2013236/+attachment/5704096/+files/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%20du%202023-09-24%2015-43-57.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2013236 Title: b43 driver conflicts with bcmwl driver for some Broadcom devices Status in broadcom-sta package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in broadcom-sta source package in Lunar: New Status in linux-firmware source package in Lunar: Invalid Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Lunar: Incomplete Status in broadcom-sta source package in Mantic: New Status in linux-firmware source package in Mantic: Invalid Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Mantic: Incomplete Bug description: Specifically for Lunar - using a Macbook Air 2012, its wireless driver was not enabled even though I ticked the wireless tickbox on the installer.
