0. Caution
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The files mentioned in this document should not be used in systems with working Wi-Fi. Only systems failing to connect should use these solutions.
|
|
|
|
Use them at your own risk and only if your system's Broadcom device doesn't work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Initramfs configuration
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Please read comments in /etc/dracut.conf.d/20-wl.conf file in order to configure loading modules needed by the Broadcom STA wireless driver in your kernel's initramfs.
|
|
|
|
Edit the /etc/dracut.conf.d/20-wl.conf file and comment/uncomment the one line "add_drivers+=" directive depending on your needs.
|
|
|
|
For example by CLI with Nano:
|
|
sudo nano /etc/dracut.conf.d/20-wl.conf
|
|
|
|
Ctrl+O will save the file, and Ctrl+X will quit Nano.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Any CLI or GUI text editor is fine, this is purely an example.
|
|
|
|
Then use Dracut to rebuild your current initramfs:
|
|
sudo dracut -f
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. NetworkManager configuration file usage
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
To try to fix issues noted in RHBZ#1703745 and RFBZ#5245 the usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-broadcom-wl.conf file is provided.
|
|
|
|
This file disables MAC address randomization for Broadcom devices using this driver while scanning for a wireless access point.
|
|
|
|
It prevents "CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22 retry=1" messages in logs and the inability to connect to a wireless access point.
|
|
|
|
The tradeoff of this setting is that scanning for wireless access point uses only the real MAC address of the device and produces is less anonymous.
|
|
|
|
To disable this setting, reate an empty file with the exact same name in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
|
|
|
|
In a terminal, type:
|
|
sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-broadcom-wl.conf
|
|
|
|
To re-enable this setting, remove the file.
|
|
|
|
In a terminal, type:
|
|
sudo rm -f /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-broadcom-wl.conf
|
