Broadcom WiFi Driver problem - On my 2009 MacBook Pro with Broadcom BCM4321, I'm unable to get wifi working after the update.
Using the Hardware Drivers, it shows the "Broadcom IE802.11 a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device driver" is installed.
Tried "sudo depmod -a" and rebooted; no change. Removed, rebooted, and reinstalled the driver - no change.
"sudo modprobe wl" gives me "insmod: ERROR: could not load module /lib/modules/6.0.9-222.current/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko: No such file or directory."
Quick online search for Broadcom Wifi Driver Linux 6.0 finds a similar issue in the Manjaro forums - they state the Broadcom-wl driver wasn't yet compiled for 6.0 kernel (see https://forum.manjaro.org/t/broadcom-wifi-driver-missing-after-kernel-6-0-update/124239/3). Is this the same problem in Solus?
Currently using an external wifi adapter; everything else seems fine. Updates went well on other computers - no Broadcom Wifi adapters on the other computers.
Thank you for any help!

    tonyk Do you have broadcom-sta-current installed? And if you do please run sudo eopkg info broadcom-sta-current and reply with the output. It should have been updated at the same time as the linux-current update.

      Hello,
      After the update, small problem with mouse driver. "logitech M235". I am forced to disconnect the usb and then reconnect to have the smile in function.

        Impressively smooth however will the ISO kernel be modernized any time soon?

          Hi, good work. At first good. Thank you very much. Kind regards.

            tonyk Hmm that is the right version. Can I see ls /lib/modules/6.0.9-222.current/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ ? Also eopkg info kmod

              I am having the same issue as https://dev.getsol.us/T9962 with 6.0.9. At least, does not show luks prompt, did not investigate much further yet. Still boots with the old kernel.

                I don't see any wireless errors in dmesg.

                Thank you.

                  The required module is no longer included in kernel 6.0.9:

                  sudo zcat /proc/config.gz | grep _FB_SIMPLE
                  # CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is n

                  I am still using the Nvidia driver:

                  I think I have a similar issue. After upgrading (to Linux-current 6.0) FDE prompt is not showing -- no boot is happening. I tried the following:

                  • https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-rescue/en/ -- no broken packages
                  • Install on a spare SSD -- after upgrade same issue
                  • Upgrade went well on a Thinkpad laptop (with FDE) and a NUC (no FDE)
                  • Tried to boot the workstation with the NUC SSD -> worked well
                  • Tried to downgrade via sudo eopkg history -t #before upgrade to Linux-current 6.0 -- did not work

                  The issue seems to be with FDE (luks/cryptsetup)

                    Thank you.
                    Updated today to 6.0.9 on a System76 Thelio and all is working well.
