Comment 14 for bug 732677

I tried to ask developer, and here is our log:

---------------------------------
Good day,

Few weeks ago I has bug with broadcom driver, description is here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/732677

Bug confirmed, please fix.
---------------------------------
The wl driver does not work with the ssb module loaded since it conflicts with the builtin ssb support in wl.
You'll need to unload the ssb module before loading wl. This requirement has not changed since original release of this driver.

Please read the README that comes with the driver (or online here http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php)

Regards
Brett

Good day, Brett.

Thank for your help, but with old driver 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5 ssb module is still loaded:

05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
    Memory at c0200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: wl
    Kernel modules: wl, ssb

when I try to unload module, gets error:

[majesty][~]$ sudo rmmod ssb
[sudo] password for majesty:
ERROR: Module ssb is in use by b44

b44 module loaded for wired network interface

08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
    Subsystem: Dell Device 01f5
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
    Memory at c0300000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: b44
    Kernel modules: b44

That`s why I post a bug.

I try to upgrade driver again:
