Details
Description: Having broadcom-wl pkgrel 292 installed
together with linux 5.12.13 will make my Ethernet card be
unavailable for my network manager (NetworkManager), but
WiFi card works. By downgrading broadcom-wl to pkgrel 291
the WiFi card stops working (makes sense, broadcom-wl pkgrel
291 was probably not built against linux 5.12.13), but
Ethernet card works again.
From lspci: my Ethernet is BCM5761 with driver 'tg3' (from Linux kernel), and my WiFi is BCM43228 with module 'bcma' (even though broadcom-wl blacklists it, but works). I still see my Ethernet card with proper module in lspci even when broadcom-wl pkgrel 292 is installed and the Ethernet card doesn't show up in NetworkManager. Additional info: * package version(s) core/linux 5.12.3.arch1-1 community/broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-292 (and pkgrel -291) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: - Use/install linux 5.12.3.arch1-1 and broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-292 - Reboot the system - The Ethernet doesn't show up in the network manager after rebooting, WiFi is ok - Downgrade to broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-291 - Reboot the system - Ethernet shows up after rebooting, WiFi doesn't show up in the network manager |
