[arch-general] archlinux kernel 3.14.2-1 Broadcom BCM4312 firmware-files not found
Hello List, my Netbook: Packard Bell DOT M Intel Z520 1.33G 1GB RAM Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) arch 32-bit fully updated. I'm using b43-firmware from AUR. uname -a: Linux laptop 3.14.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon 14 April 21:01:08 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux With Kernel 3.13.8-1 and b43-firmware-5.100.130 all works very well. After Upgrade my System with Kernel 3.14.1-1 with same package of Firmware installed and a reboot, i got this message on every boot: Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-pci-bridge 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0004 -> 0006) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Found chip with id 0x4312, rev 0x01 and package 0x00 Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x16, vendor 0x4243) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x0F, vendor 0x4243) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Core 2 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x0A, vendor 0x4243) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Core 3 found: PCI-E (cc 0x820, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:03:00.0 Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15) Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-phy0: Found PHY: Analog 6, Type 5 (LP), Revision 1 Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/lp0initvals15.fw" not found Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMNLS ] Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found Apr 30 15:50:47 laptop kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website. The files are propper installed under /usr/lib/firmware/b43/ What have i done: reinstalled firmware b43-firmware-5.100.130 by using Kernel 3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1 - no success. Updating to b43-firmware-6.30.163.46 using Kernel 3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1 - no success. Downgrading to Kernel 3.13.8-1 both firmware versions works as expected. Sorry for my bad english. Regards

Only reinstalling the module won't do. You need to recompile for every kernel. cheers! mar77i

Thanks for the reply. But in this package there is no kernel module included, only firmware files. The used module b43 is part of kernel and included in the modules-array of my initrd. Therfore i think there is nothing i can do, if the module doesn't find the needed firmware files, or am i wrong? Actually I'm using the broadcom-wl package. By using this you are right, I need recompiling the package after kernelupdate. Greetings
