I blacklisted b43 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, followed by
Code:
sudo modprobe -r b43
Then I installed the STA drivers from additional drivers, I see my chipset is supposedly supported(BCM4329). The light goes green and states that it is active and currently in use.
After toggling networking on and off, my wired connection comes back and I have lost my list of wifi networks, all I see now is Wireless Networks : disconnected, same after
Code:
modprobe -r wl; modprobe wl
I see that installing the driver has created a new blacklist file, so here are my blacklists now:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf
Code:
# Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl. All changes to this file will be lost.
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist bcma
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Code:
# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.
blacklist b43
# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug
# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd
# replaced by e100
blacklist eepro100
# replaced by tulip
blacklist de4x5
# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394
# snd_intel8x0m can interfere with snd_intel8x0, doesn't seem to support much
# hardware on its own (Ubuntu bug #2011, #6810)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m
# Conflicts with dvb driver (which is better for handling this device)
blacklist snd_aw2
# causes failure to suspend on HP compaq nc6000 (Ubuntu: #10306)
blacklist i2c_i801
# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54
# replaced by b43 and ssb.
blacklist bcm43xx
# most apps now use garmin usb driver directly (Ubuntu: #114565)
blacklist garmin_gps
# replaced by asus-laptop (Ubuntu: #184721)
blacklist asus_acpi
# low-quality, just noise when being used for sound playback, causes
# hangs at desktop session start (Ubuntu: #246969)
blacklist snd_pcsp
# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
blacklist pcspkr
# EDAC driver for amd76x clashes with the agp driver preventing the aperture
# from being initialised (Ubuntu: #297750). Blacklist so that the driver
# continues to build and is installable for the few cases where its
# really needed.
blacklist amd76x_edac
