Public bug reported:
My laptop has a BCM4328 draft-N wireless chipset that requires
ndiswrapper. This broke between 2.6.24-10-generic and 2.6.24-11-generic
because the ssb module now grabs the device before ndiswrapper.
$ lspci -nn | grep 4328
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n
[14e4:4328] (rev 01)
$ ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4328) present (alternate driver: ssb)
$ diff -u /lib/modules/2.6.24-{10,11}-generic/modules.pcimap
…
+ssb 0x000014e4 0x00004328 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x0
Blacklisting ssb allows ndiswrapper to work again.
(Are free drivers supposed to actually support the 4328 yet? This would
make me happy, but I didn’t think they do.)
