System and Network configuration • Re: Broadcom Wifi Drivers on Trixie on an old iMac - 14,1

I used grep with lsmod and didn't find any of the modules to be removed listed in the output. Again, I'm leery of this because when I followed these instructions before, it trashed my wired networking completely, forcing me to re-install from scratch.

I was trying to verify that I wouldn't run into that again, which is why I was asking if I understood what was going on. I was really hoping to get some clarification there.

I went on and ran

Code:

modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma
And there was no output.

I tried

Code:

modprobe wl
as given, above, and it was not permitted. So I did it with sudo. Again, no output from the command.

Since doing that, I went back to the wl page in the wiki. I thought I had remembered some steps to take to make sure the wl module was loaded at boot from then on, but I don't see them - or I'm reading it wrong.

I tested the system after adding wl and both wireless and wired networking were working!

But when I rebooted, wifi was gone.
