** Description changed: + Linux 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP + Both packages for Precise and Quantal end up blacklisting module 'b44' which is required for wired internet connection to take place. After boot the wireless works perfectly but the wired internet is not present at all and plugging in a CAT5 connection does not wake it up. I can 'modprobe b44' manually at the Terminal and the wired internet module wakes up and functions again. /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf blacklist b43 blacklist b44 <--? /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf # wl module from Broadcom conflicts with ssb # We must blacklist the following modules: blacklist b44 <--? blacklist b43legacy blacklist b43 blacklist brcm80211 blacklist brcmsmac blacklist ssb install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) <--module 'b44' Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) <--- Broadcom ST Wireless 'wl' The package should not be blacklisting the 'b44' module if the Ethernet controller hardware is present in addition to the wireless controller. It's my understanding that the wired connection module code was merged into the Kernel at version 2.6 and doesn't need a separate driver so it should be allowed to boot up. I worked around this problem and manually commented out the blacklist and after booting up both connections worked flawlessly without any manual steps.
