Been working on this damn problem about 3 hours and still no result!
System: HP mini 2140, BCM4312 b/g rev 01 , kernel 2.6.30.7 I guess I've checked almost all google results related to this case. To quickly note the problem I should say that for some unknown reason b43 driver (loaded as b43-pci-bridge)is forcefully loaded, even after cleanly installing 'wl'. Do not mention blacklisting tips nor re-compile/installing wl since I've tried every possible situation. Now I`ve came to this point that, at least in BT4, blacklisting the b43 is NOT applied. I've tried multiple blacklist file names ( /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist OR blacklist.conf OR blacklist-bcm43) ,trying to blocking bcm43xx/ssb/b43/b44/ndiswrapper/b43legacy with no luck. still : Quote:

After removing all b43 & other blacklisted modules and even renaming related .ko files , b43-pci-bridge still loads from no-where and catch the hardware before wl loads. fail again depmod, depmod -a & depmod 2,6,30.7 or 'update-initramfs -v -u all' has been tried after replacing and removing drivers. fail again what make this harwdare non-working : b43-pci-bridge is always loaded BEFORE wl get the chance to catch hardware, so, it fails and you won`t have it working. While card hardware is known by lshw, it`s not detected by driver, so no interface is created. possible solution:{you tell me!} please show me how to completely get rid of b43 and won`t have it automatically loaded, considering all of my non-working efforts to blacklist it (and other broken drivers)... blocking b43-pci-bridge will let wl take control of the card, and it would hopefully work. Thanks God that I've my Ubiquity card and not locked down by this problem hardly. |

And I would not remove b43 in favour of wl. wl has no support for monitor and injection because broadcrap removed such functionalities under their proprietary linux driver. Last edited by hatake_kakashi; 11-01-2009 at 01:46 AM. |
