Re: WIFI issues Broadcom
Just as a temporary experiment, please try:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo rfkill list all
Now have we cured this?
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Thanks.
There are several Broadcom devices that are covered by multiple drivers, brcmsmac, b43, wl, etc. The key is determining which works best. In this case, I believe bcmwl-kernel-source is optimal for 14e4:4727. Its installation handily blacklists everything else.
