I have a HP 2140 laptop with broadcom wireless card...I have installed chakra live cd on it and everything was fine before the kernel update to 2.6.31.
I have move the wl.ko to the new kernel in /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ dir but without success

I have recompliled wl.ko with a PKGBUILD in Aur with name broadcom-wl,but not working either....Can you please tell me what i have to do to make this work again?

the above is so wrong that maybe if you could explain how did you compile a new module and hod did you add it to the kernel, then maybe someone would be able to help

Well...I have installed the package broadcom-wl from kdemod-core repo.Then i follow the instructions.
"If the modules do not load at boot, remember add in your rc.conf:
MODULES=(lib80211 wl !b43 !ssb ...)"
But I cant see my wireless card...Thats all..

run
modprobe module_name

see what errors this will generate

kozer · 2009-10-13 19:14:59

This is the error i get after
modprobe wl

FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/net/wireless/wl.ko): Invalid module format

I'll check the pkgs again. on what arch you on? i686 or x86_64?

kozer · 2009-10-13 20:12:27
