Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bcmwl-kernel-source
I have a broadcomm wireless integrated card in a laptop. To get it to
work I need the "wl" module, provided by the bcmwl-kernel-source (from
restricted), and compiled with dkms. The version I currently have is
# apt-cache policy bcmwl-kernel-source
bcmwl-kernel-source:
Installed: 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3
This works as expected with the regular -generic series kernels, but at
least in the last four of five -generic-pae ones (also in karmic),
module is built but fails to load with
# modprobe wl
FATAL: Error inserting wl
(/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
and in dmesg:
# dmesg | tail -2
[ 2795.255929] wl: disagrees about version of symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops
[ 2795.255938] wl: Unknown symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops
I have tried removing/purging and reinstalling the offending package,
without success.
So, in the end, I have to choose between wireless and 2GB of ram or no
wireless and 4GB of ram.
