Some how I fixed it. I erased all the file and directory of /lib/firmware/b43, removed the alias from modprobe.conf, restarted and started from scratch (for the bagilianth time) but somehow it worked this time. I don't know Well I'm glad it is working. My guess would be that somehow one of your firmware files got corrupted to cause the problem you observed. Closing since it seems to be working... |
