Yes, this worked as you expected .. b43 b44 not loaded and wifi working with wl. > > (2) Don't reboot yet.

Now run "sudo update-initramfs -u". Rebooting gives me the wifi, but no ethernet, and b44 is still not getting loaded. > Find out the modalias of your wifi card with > > grep MODALIAS=pci.*4328 /var/log/udev paul :~$ grep MODALIAS=pci.*4328 /var/log/udev MODALIAS=pci:v000014E4d00004328sv00001028sd00000009bc02sc80i00 MODALIAS=pci:v000014E4d00004328sv00001028sd00000009bc02sc80i00 > and give me the output of > > sudo modprobe -n -b pci:v000014E4d... paul :~$ sudo modprobe -n -b pci:v000014E4d00004328sv00001028sd00000009bc02sc80i00 WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module ssb paul :~$ sudo modprobe -n -b pci:v000014E4d00004328sv00001028sd00000009bc02sc80i00 WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module ssb > (Use the modalias you just found with that grep). -- jockey fails to enable broadcom STA driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
