    Re: Broadcom wireless card

    It's just a warning. In the future, any file that is a 'configuration' file is supposed to have an extension of .conf. The blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d does not. Nothing more. The blacklist file is still read and used 'as is'.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Re: Broadcom wireless card

      Hi,
      I went through a great deal to try to get this puppy to work in Kubuntu 11.04. The final solution - for my rig (HP DV6233se) was to uninstall the bcmwl-kernel-source. I did confirm that the bcm43xx was blacklisted and removed the blacklist - didn't work. No fix on the broadcom sta driver ever worked. But after installing firmware-b43-installer (which automatically brought in cutter) I could get it to work, but I had to log into a terminal every time @ boot up and type in sudo modprobe b43. It was only after removing the above source file and rebooting that my rig came up with a working wireless for Kubuntu 11.04. Hope this is useful for someone else.

      Peace
