Description russauld 2017-01-29 02:05:14 CET

Wireless will not work when booting into 4.9.5-100.fc24.x86_64

The RPM package exists for the module:
kmod-wl-4.9.5-100.fc24.x86_64-6.30.223.271-7.fc24.x86_64

Contents:
/usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-100.fc24.x86_64/extra
/usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-100.fc24.x86_64/extra/wl
/usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-100.fc24.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko


The module does not load when kernel 4.9.5 is booted.
Furthermore, "modprobe wl" fails with a complaint similar to "no such file".
Of course, the file is present, as shown above.
I also ran "rpm --verify" on the kmod-wl rpm and it did not show any problems.

kmod rpms:
$ rpm -qa | grep kmod-wl

Comment 1 Daniel Moerner 2017-01-29 02:30:07 CET

Hi, I am also having this problem on Fedora 25, with

kernel-4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64
akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-7.fc25.x86_64
broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-1.fc25.x86_64

Nothing in dmesg, module is present in extra/wl/wl.ko

Everything works with kernel-4.9.4-201.fc25.x86_64.

Comment 2 Daniel Moerner 2017-01-31 16:32:46 CET

wl-kmod is working again for me on 4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64.

Comment 3 russauld 2017-02-01 13:15:45 CET

wl-kmod is working for me too on F24 now after upgrading to
kernel 4.9.6-100.fc24.x86_64

rpm -ql kmod-wl-4.9.6-100.fc24.x86_64-6.30.223.271-7.fc24.x86_64

/usr/lib/modules/4.9.6-100.fc24.x86_64/extra
/usr/lib/modules/4.9.6-100.fc24.x86_64/extra/wl

Comment 4 NVieville 2017-02-01 14:02:29 CET

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

For my part, using F-25 with all the 4.9.x kernels didn't produce any issues the last weeks with a BCM4313 device.
Maybe you hit some combinations of parameters (kernel, hardware, settings) that produced these issues.

Feel free to complete this bug report with all the information you can provide in case you encounter a problem again.

Cordially,

Fedora 23 will be EOL-ed this week and RPMFusion will no longer be releasing updates for this version of Fedora. This bug will be set to RESOLVED:EXPIRED next weekend to reflect this.

If the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, please
update the version field of this bug (and re-open it if it has been closed).

F24 IS EOL
