I'm troubleshooting a connectivity issue that has arisen with my Broadcom cards.
I would like to make sure I am not making a simple mistake, such as having too many\conflicting drivers loaded on my system.
Here is the output of my "rfkill list all":
Code:
# rfkill list all

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN

Hard blocked: no
Here is the output of my "lsmod":
Code:

Here are some syslog entries (with omitted information for privacy reasons) which make me suspect a driver problem:

I'd really like to come up with a resolution to this, as it's affecting a lot of our machines.
Thanks in advance for any input!
