Greetings!
Q: If the WLAN BCM4318 chipset is this finicky w/TCP, why not eliminate all the wireless/firmware extensions from ever being installed. Now, using a wired connection, download only the needed ones from the 5.1 repo?
e.g.,
1) wireless-tools.tcz
2) b43-fwcutter.tcz & cut firmware as reported in thread.
3) wifi.tcz
4) firmware-openfwwf.tcz
5) firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz
Using this concept, blacklisting should never be needed.
Sincerely,
eltone
PS. NO bloat!
