[SOLVED]

Hello,

I come on this forum, because, some one from the french forum, tell me that here may be I will find a solution.
This is the problem :
-------------------------------
Each time my WiFi is down.
For make my Wifi Up, i have to install package dkms-broadcom and the uninstall dkms-broadcom.
And it is only after the uninstall of DKMS-Broadcom that my wifi is OK.
And I can re install the DKMS-Broadcom.
But after that, if i make a shut down / startup, the wifi is still down.
And the cycle restart, unistall DKMS-Broadcom.
I try to find a solution without sucess.
-----------------
Some additional informations :
-----------------------------
Code: Select all
config]$ lspcidrake -v | grep -i net
