Public bug reported: A recent update of linux-firmware 'fixed' dangling symlinks and now the raspi kernel tries to load brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob from the linux-firmware package but uses the FW blob brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin from the linux-firmware-raspi2 package. The two don't play well together:
$ sudo dmesg | grep brcm [ 17.643748] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x1541a9a6 [ 17.663790] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/1 [ 17.676701] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac [ 17.961711] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/1 [ 17.979586] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_c_process_clm_blob: clmload (4733 byte file) failed (-52) [ 17.992680] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: download CLM blob file failed, -5 [ 18.002651] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_bus_started: failed: -5 [ 18.010267] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_attach: dongle is not responding: err=-5 [ 18.059280] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: brcmf_attach failed The FW blob from linux-firmware-raspi already contains CLM data and doesn't need to load a dedicated blob. In fact it must not, so linux- firmware-raspi2 needs to divert brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob from the linux-firmware package. ** Affects: linux-firmware-raspi2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922257 Title: brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob needs to be diverted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware-raspi2/+bug/1922257/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
