Here it is ...
Every time I blacklist b43 and ssb and make sure wl is loaded ssb is reloaded - something somewhere keeps reloading it and over-riding my setting.pemasu wrote:Edoc. It looks like your broadcom is supported by wl driver. But ssb and b43 are loaded also. So...you need to try create savefile and reboot. Or....if that is not enough, blacklist ssb and b43, create savefile and reboot.
Is this a meaningful variable?bcm43xx:ssb
ssb:wl
bcma:wl
ssb:bcma
b43 was already in that list once and ssb twice.pemasu wrote:Edoc. /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
Add in that file to SKIPLIST row those 2 modules more.
ssb and b43
SKIPLIST=" ssb b43 arcfb cirrusfb cyber2000fb ..........
And save. That might be enough. Reboot.
I just stopped the process and booted from a Lucid Puppy DVD - the wifi works fine.pemasu wrote:Edoc. Well....ssb cant be loaded before wl. I hope that I am right with idea that wl is right module for your wireless. It would help if you would know that wl has worked with that laptop in other Puppy, but you havent at least posted so, I suppose it hasnt.
Did it all, rebooted multiple times, no joy. Very odd.pemasu wrote:Edoc. To be sure...I would remove wl logistic file and also wl kernel module. Then reboot. If that does not help....then there isnt much more I can do.
in console.
rm /lib/modules/3.9.9-upup/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
rm /lib/modules/all-firmware/wl/etc/modprobe.d/wl.conf
And then there isnt anymore possibility that wl.ko module interferes.
If this does not help, post pdiag tarball again after unsuccesful trial.
Your b43 chip should be supported without any problems. So...I really dont know what is wrong with this build. I think we will need spiritual session soon....
