Public bug reported:
I originally reported this issue as part of bug #263097, but was asked
to file a new bug.
I am using the latest Intrepid on a Dell XPS M1210 laptop with a
Broadcom BCM4328 wifi.
In my case, B44 was being loaded (and thus ssd) prior to jockey
attempting to utilize "wl". B44 was being loaded dur to my ethernet
adapter. However, because ssd was loaded prior to wl, my wireless
networking adapter (wlan0) never showed up.
I had to work around this problem by forcing the loading of wl prior to
b44 and ssd -- which I did via the following command:
echo -e '#ssb workaround, added `date`\ninstall wl modprobe -r b43 b44
b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe
b44;' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/wl
At this point, both my ethernet adapter and my wireless adapter are both
working just fine -- at the same time.
