No Wireless Connection After Reboot
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2009 12:55 pm
Hello, all !
I recently installed the beautiful Linux Mint 7 and was really astonished to see that it grew so much in so small period of time. You guys had made the perfect OS in my personal opinion!!!!
I used Mint 5 and was so pleased to see that in Mint 7 there is a driver for the Broadcom Wireless cards. I had to use ndiswrapper with Mint 5 but with Mint 7 the Broadcom STA Driver, included in Hardware Drivers section, just worked when I installed it.
The problem I have appears on the next boot. The wireless does not work. When I go to the Hardware Drivers section I could see that the driver is installed and activated BUT it says that it is NOT in use. So I deactivate and activate it again and the wireless is back! I suppose that it is question of blacklisting something and/or adding a module to be booted but I can not figure out what exactly I have to do. I have bcm43xx blacklisted but it does not solve the problem. May be I have to blacklist the default wireless driver to let the Broadcom STA Driver to load correctly.
Thank you for the help,
Milen
