Bug#1030741: firmware-brcm80211: Package firmware-brcm80211 not found in bookworm
hi Salvatore, Thank you for your prompt replies. The system hang is unpredictable. When it reboots after the hang, there are no errors on "dmesg". How and where can i find the relevant logs, errors which could help to troubleshoot this issue? regards, -Mathi From: Salvatore Bonaccorso on behalf of Salvatore Bonaccorso Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 1:21 PM To: Mathirajan S.

Thank you very much. I was able to install this package firmware-brcm80211 to get the wifi card working on my pc. But i'm running into a strange problem now. The system freezes and reboots after a few seconds. I have never experienced anything like this with Linux past several years. If i boot into single user mode and uninstall this package firmware-brcm80211, the system functions normally. If i install firmware-brcm80211, this makes the system unstable. The system freezes and reboots. Should i file a new bug for this? regards, -Mathi From: Salvatore Bonaccorso Sent: Monday, February 6, 2023 9:43 PM To: Mathirajan S.
