I have the same issue. Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 Dell Latitude E6510 kernel-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 Already seems to be a discussion (or two) regarding this. Here is one: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=267852 I include the section from the bugzilla discussion (727796) above that resolved my issue: ################################## I got my Broadcom card to work again with the wl module. The only thing I got to do is to blacklist the bcma module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf : blacklist bcma And after that : rmmod wl rmmod bcma modprobe wl ################################## Your mileage may vary please push the fix in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727796 to fedora 15 testing I had the same issue on my 64-bit installation: $ echo 'Kernel Version: ' `uname -r` && echo 'lspci Info:' && lspci -v | awk '/Ether|Net/,/^$/' Kernel Version: 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 lspci Info: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Device 01f2 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at fe5fe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: b44 Kernel modules: b44 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at fe8fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: wl Kernel modules: wl, ssb I did not have the bcma module installed, and blacklisting it did not help. What ended up solving my issue was to install "kmod-wl-2.6.40-4" and "kmod-wl-3.6.40.3-0". I still had to boot several times this morning to get the wl module to load. same problem, the only way to get wl to work was use older kernel This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
