Broadcom bcm4311 runs fine when sudo modprobe b43. Does not start on bootup. Some results:
[wayne@wayne-presarioc700notebookpc ~]$ cat /etc/modules
b43
[wayne@wayne-presarioc700notebookpc ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf
options b43 allhwsupport=1
[wayne@wayne-presarioc700notebookpc ~]$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
List of modules to load at boot
b43
I have tried to run the following command as well.
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux59
Anyone have any ideas??? I am new to Manjaro, though years ago messed with Lubuntu.
Wollie,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I don’t know if there was anything specific I was to glean from that link. I have all applicable drivers installed (wifi runs fine). The big issue I have is that it does not start at bootup.
The research I did previously, in the AUR documents, mentioned to add b43 to the end of modules.conf to make start on bootup. I don’t see anything ground breaking in the document you mentioned. I am trying to build the b43-firmware through the pamac packagemanger (weak are the term skills with this one…).
Hi @Al_catraz,
Which linux419-broadcom-wl.conf do you have installed In the directory /etc/modprobe.d/ ?
For example, I have the linux419-broadcom-wl.conf and linux54-broadcom-wl.conf in this directory.
Found this.

Followed this suggestion " check another modprobe source folder at /usr/lib/modprobe.d/"
