Hi,
after installation to newer kernel Mageia 3.10. my previously working wireless connection with older kernel (some 3.8) with BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01) has been cut and wificard no longer works.
I completely formatted HD, installed again with kernel 3.8.13.4-1,
By default there is installed b43, I add b43-fwcutter, it shows WLAN0 interface in MageiaControlCenter, but no networks are visible and wificard apparently is not working (checked via wifi button).
lsmod shows:
bcma is in use by b43, although due to installed broadcom-ssb-config should be blacklisted (checked in /etc/modprob.d). How to blacklist bcma without blacklisting b43 (I tried: install ... /bin/false , it blacklists also b43), as I suspect it as the reason why wificard does not work?
Then I tried to use broadcom wl driver: installed necessary packages, uninstall broadcom-ssb-config, it shows existing card, but is not finding WLAN interface, no possibility to even set up connection which with b43 exists (although does not work).
checked in /etc/modprob.d): bcma, b43, b43legacy, brcmfmac, brcmsmac and ssb are blacklisted,
lsmod does show ssb, used by b44 and ssb_hcd.
Any ideas what else to try to solve it?
