Can't blacklist ssb to allow kmod-wl to work

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Just upgraded to Fedora 18 on my Dell Mini 9 netbook. `kmod-wl` is the wifi driver that works on this netbook (Broadcom BCM4312). It normally worked fine with past versions of Fedora, but on F18 the `ssb` kernel module keeps getting loaded and it conflicts with `wl`, and nothing I do stops the module from being automatically loaded. These steps always work to fix the wireless: 1. rmmod ssb 2. modprobe wl # not sure if necessary since it's already loaded 3. service NetworkManager restart If I could prevent ssb from being loaded to begin with, my wifi should work from the start. Thing (HowTos)

Fedora 12 - Wifi Issue 3 years 17 weeks ago

I just upgraded from FC 11 to 12 and my wifi is gone. I am using a Broadcom chipset and the b43 module is loaded.

It's hard for me to copy and paste the results I've been getting because I have no connectivity on that computer. Anyway, I get the following results from dmesg: Broadcom 43xx driver loaded udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan1 ..

I have a Dell E6400 latitude, BCM4312 WiFi card, have tried just about everything to get it to work, but it won't.. At first modprobe b43 did it, I had wifi, rebooted, and it was gone. Ever since, with the b43 driver loaded, ifconfig -a shows a wlan0 device, with MAC address which seems to be correct, but I can not use it.. Any help? OS is Kubuntu 11.04

I upgraded a dell mini from Fedora 17 to 18 using fedup and wireless is not working with the latest kernel.

I have back to back problem with my F17.

I have successfully installed F17 on my Samsung notebook so I wanted on my netbook which always struggled with window 7 that came with it. Now I have two problems that prevents each other problem from getting fixed :blink:

I know that in order for wireless on my netbook to work, I have to download the separate package (kmod -wl I believe) but I can

From the wiki page, perhaps something in this paragraph is relevant and/or something you could try:The MS Windows NETw4x32 driver can be used with ndiswrapper as an alternative to the iwl3945 and ipw3945 drivers.In some cases (specifically a Dell Latitude D620 with Arch 2008.06, though it could happen elsewhere), after installation you may have both iwl3945 and ipw3945 in your MODULES=() section o

Hi, I've been using ndiswrapper and kmod-ndiswrapper since kernel-2.6 which have automatically been integrated in each kernel update.

Hi all,

I recently installed Fedora 18 on my Macbook Pro 5,5 (Mid 2009). Everything went great except the I cannot get the wifi to work. I have a Broadcom 4322 chip and I am trying to install the drivers but the tutorials I've tried so far do not work (the tutorials are made for older versions of Fedora but it is very possible I'm doing it wrong).
