[SOLVED] Wireless card errors on startup

darkghost568 · 2018-03-27 16:30:04

Hey guys,
When I boot I'm getting the errors `bcma: bus0: No SPROM available` and `b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY`. I installed b43-firmware from AUR. I blacklisted b43legacy by making the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf be `blacklist b43legacy` and adding FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. I then ran `systemctl start systemd-networkd` and `mkinitcpio -p linux` and rebooted, but the errors persist. What am I missing? Thanks!

Also sidenote: when I shutdown I get a bunch of `Failed to remount oldroot/sys` errors. Any way to fix this?

What Broadcom chipset does your card have?

lspci | grep -i net

Also I assume that in addition to the errors showing on boot, you're not able to actually establish any connections, correct? I only ask because there are cases where the card can be functional but still spit out nasty messages like this.

$ lspci | grep -i net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V (rev 5)
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adaper (rev 03)

I'm currently using wired ethernet, so I do have internet, but when I unplug ethernet I don't have internet. I haven't tried configuring the wireless card yet, and I'm not entirely sure how since I'm a noob. I'm mostly trying to fix the errors on boot to satisfy my OCD haha.

I suspect you'll need to use the broadcom-wl driver for the BCM4360 card. Uninstall any other ones that you've tried and see if this fixes your issue.

Thanks so much, that fixed it!

Any idea about the failed to remount oldroot issue on shutdown? I remember seeing a recent post in a thread a few days ago about it being fixed upstream in systemd, but I just did the latest systemd 238.51-1 (2018-03-27) update and the issue persists.

Nice, I see you've done some great work on the topic! It looks like there are some patches I could do in the meantime, but do you think if I wait longer systemd will be updated to remedy these errors without further intervention on my part? I'm pretty noob so I don't wanna screw anything up and create more issues lol

Whenever systemd v239 is released that will included the commits, if the commits are applied to systemd-stable or the arch maintainers cherry-pick the commits before the 239 release I have no idea.
