[Solved] wireless ath module restricted-modules

[deathguppie]

Hey,

I have a broadcom wireless pci card in my desktop that doesn't work with the ath5k driver. I downloaded and installed the restricted-modules that includes the working driver. However in order to use it I have to first rmmod ath5k and then load ath_hal ath_pci. Then start knetworkmanager to have network.

Does anyone know where ubuntu keeps it's modules-load.conf file so that I can switch out the necessary modules so that they load properly on boot??

Re: wireless ath module restricted-modules

turns out that /etc/modules.d.blacklist had blacklisted ath_pci so I just commented out that line and added "blacklist ath5k" and now it works perfectly
