LP #1119842 LP #1173761 ** Description changed: - Dell Latitude E5540 on 12.04.4 + Dell Latitude E5540 + http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201307-13942/ on 12.04.4 steps to reproduce this bug: 1. get the propietary driver which jockey tells you [1] 2. sudo dkms install -m bcmwl -v 6.20.155.1+bdcom [2] - 3. sudo modprobe wl [3] + 3. sudo modprobe wl 4. lsmod | grep wl expected result: wl.ko is working and there is wireless actual result: wl.ko was inserted but there is kernel panic. wireless didn't work. [1] the steps to get the propietary driver in my case is 1. after installation 12.04.4, jockey will tell you there is propietary driver for the wireless. 2. click jockey to download and install the driver. 3. jockey will be on the stage of the "downloading" dialogue window 4. go to check the /var/log/jockey.log, I found * jockey has downloaded the driver and built the wl.ko * "Segmentation fault" after the dkms was installed - you may refer to jockey.log as the attachment - [2] build and install the dkms, it looks ok for this step - - [3] - dmesg will show the following when inserting the module wl.ko: - - - [ 199.410674] ------------[ cut here ]------------ - [ 199.410692] kernel BUG at include/net/cfg80211.h:3001! - [ 199.410707] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP - [ 199.410721] Modules linked in: wl(POF+) cfg80211 lib80211 rfcomm bnep snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_hdmi joydev snd_hda_intel uvcvideo i915 snd_hda_codec videobuf2_core videodev btusb bluetooth videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops snd_hwdep snd_pcm dell_wmi sparse_keymap snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_timer drm_kms_helper mei_me snd_seq_device wmi dell_laptop drm snd soundcore snd_page_alloc lpc_ich psmouse ppdev mac_hid serio_raw i2c_algo_bit mei dcdbas video parport_pc lp parport e1000e ptp sdhci_pci pps_core sdhci ahci libahci - [ 199.410909] CPU: 0 PID: 2596 Comm: modprobe Tainted: PF O 3.11.0-15-generic #25~precise1-Ubuntu - [ 199.410934] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
