wifi does not work in microwatt (solved)

[0day]

The wifi only works when you have entered: sudo modprobe b43
on every startup should I put this

Here is some stuff from Ubuntu about it. There are a thread somewhere here about it, or something similar too.

Have you installed the "firmware-b43-installer" package?

yes

Weird, you rebooted and still no wifi. No wifi during the live session neither then? Found the other thread, but can not see that it contains anything of interest for you.

solved with #b43 & #ssb in /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-dkms.conf# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
#blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
#blacklist ssb

Is it all right?

I am no expert in the wifi area, but if it works for you I am sure it is allright!

Hi Oday! Please mark as solved by editing the thread title. I got the impression that you found out about it, great work! And welcome to the wattOS forums by the way!

just only the first:
blacklist b43

and

sudo update-initramfs -u

Thanks for the info Oday. Appreciate it.
