Hello, I'm probably wrong, but for information, I add such issue on Maverick and Fedora 14 with Lenovo Ideapad u160 until I (re-)activated the BCM4313 card with Lenovo tools on Windows Seven. None of the tips (blacklist, rkfill, modprobe, Fn-F5, etc.) worked on Linux (Lenovo uses some magic in Windows tools to activate this device).
Actually this wireless card is working on FC14 with the Broadcom STA Linux driver (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php) patched for kernel > 2.6.36 (patch for Fedora sources attached) and this in the /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf file: # modules blacklisted for broadcom-wl blacklist bcm43xx blacklist ssb blacklist b43 blacklist ndiswrapper #blacklist wl # Added as suggested in # http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1438213&postcount=7 blacklist acer-wmi and lauching next file (name it as you like and place it somewhere in /etc - probably it would be better to create a special directory in /etc to place your local settings file inside) from /etc/rc.local: #!/bin/bash # rmmod b43 ssb wl lib80211_crypt_tkip lib80211 modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip modprobe wl rfkill unblock wifi exit 0 Hoping these few explanations could help to catch these annoying disagreements in Linux with BCM4313!
