Hi,
Can anyone help me with some wireless diagnostics,
or rolling back the new kanotix 1.112 firware update?
My wireless was working fine yesterday,
till I installed the new Linux-firmware package for Kanotix.
Any ideas why this happened and how I can get my wireless
working again?
Hardware is a broadcom b43xx using the LP-PHY driver
Code:
root@Laptop:/home/Dell# lspci

I tried -ifconfig wlan0 up
with no results
Code:
root@Laptop:/home/Dell# iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 No scan results
pan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
I would like to undo the updates which Kpackage installed
but I dont know if this is possible without rendering the OS useless.
Here is a list of updates I installed, to the best of my knowledge
it is the linux-firmware (kanotix 1.112) which is not working with
the B43 LPHY driver. Any tips would be appreciated!
