Bug Description
Lenovo ideapad with BCM4313, upgrade to 13.04
12.10 used drivers bcma, brcmsmac
13.04 chooses kernel module wl, package bcmwl-kernel-
This causes exception on boot
Therefore network fails to launch
Therefore many commands hang: sudo ifconfig ctrl-alt-f2, computer hangs on shutdown
get-around:
in grub, select advanced options, then reccovery
in menu select root
at #:
mount -o remount,rw /
echo "blacklist wl" >>/etc/
shutdown -r now
The computer reboots without Wi-Fi
here's what appears in syslog on boot:
