Martin, sorry for the delay in getting back, but here's the information you requested:

OK, no success with this either. Here's what I tried: paul :~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43 blacklist bcm43xx blacklist b43 blacklist b43_legacy blacklist ssb blacklist b44 # load wl before b44 so that both work install wl modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe -Qba b44 and after rebooting, still no wireless. But, unexpectedly, the b44 got loaded and my wired network is working. Could there be something else going on here .. perhaps modprobe is misbehaving and not executing this blacklist file? -- jockey fails to enable broadcom STA driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
