Description:
broadcom-wl-dkms is broken for me for couple of weeks with the vanila linux kernel. Continued to work with linux-lts until today was broken by upgrade to linux-lts 4.9.29-1. The module doesn't work with the newest kernel (4.10.13-1 as of today) as well. Kernel logs: May 22 17:58:37 machine kernel: wl driver 6.30.223.271 (r587334) failed with code 1 May 22 17:58:37 machine kernel: ERROR @wl_cfg80211_detach : May 22 17:58:37 machine kernel: NULL ndev->ieee80211ptr, unable to deref wl Additional information: I'm on MacBook Pro 11,x. Accordingly to lspci my network card is 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) |
This task depends upon
kernel (4.11.2-1-ARCH) and also after getting an update of
linux-firmware (20170309.695f2d6-1 -> 20170422.ade8332-1). For some
reason I've got the same error as before on first reboot but when I
rebooted the second time accidentaly by forgetting to update the
bootloader entry, the driver was working.
I have also tried to boot with the 4.9.29-1-lts and the new
linux-firmware. Got no errors related to the driver but the wireless
interface was missing from /sys/class/net. I didn't rebooted twice in
such a configuration :)
Mark, can you confirm that the issue is fixed for you with the updates
as well?
Thanks a bunch.
