[SOLVED] BCM43228 problem with 17.1 Rebecca

Post by dobriain » Sat Dec 06, 2014 1:30 pm

I am having problems with the BCM43228 WiFi card. It was fine on the 17.0 version of Linux Mint.

$ sudo lspci -nn |grep Broadcom 04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359] 

$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic $ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source 

However after a reboot, no wireless interface.

I then executed the following and the interface came up but after a reboot it was down again and I find myself having to run these modprobe commands each time to get the interface up.

$ sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl $ sudo modprobe wl

Actually I figured this one out more or less. Problem is with the b43 driver that is loading from /etc/modules despite it being blacklisted in the blacklist-bcm43.conf file.

$ lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge 

$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic $ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source 

$ sudo sed -i.bak 's/b43/#b43/g' /etc/modules $ reboot 

Note the driver installation creates the following blacklist, but somehow b43 still loads until I do the workaround just described.

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf # 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

Thank you for posting that as I was trying to help a person on ubuntuforums and for whatever reason the bcmwl-kernel-source didn’t want to work

SOLVED again. Had to downgrade kernel from 3.16.0-28 to 3.13.0-37. As soon as I did that the problem went away.

$ sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.16.0.28* $ sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.16.0.28* $ sudo apt-get remove linux-image-extra-3.16.0.28* $ sudo update-grub $ sudo reboot

There is a newer version of bcmwl-kernel-source that should work with a 3.16 kernel but it is in the utopic repos http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/bcmwl-kernel-source
It has a patch included so it will build on 3.15 and newer kernels
