Kernel 4.9.36-1-LTS / 4.11.9-1 Wifi Drivers (macbook)

I have a macbook Pro mid 2012 and wifi driver doesn't work on the kernel 4.9.36-1-LTS and the kernel 4.11.9-1

PD: on kernel 4.11.6-1 / 4.11.6-3 / 4.11.7-1 works fine

any idea to work on latest kernel

Telling us the card and driver would be a good start...

Moving to NC.

So lspci lists an available kernel module but no kernel driver in use.  Is the bcma module blacklisted if so which package if any provided the blacklist and is that package up to date?
Check the journal for boots where a wifi driver was loaded and find out which module that was.
