Get rid of the Broadcom blues~!

by Clair on March 28th, 2008

I saw this tip from one of the blogs on Planet Ubuntu:

* Create file /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper
o gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper
* Add the text below, save and close
o #! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ndiswrapper
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: enable to load ndiswrapper
# Description: enable to load ndiswrapper
### END INIT INFO
rmmod ohci_hcd
rmmod ssb
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
modprobe ohci_hcd

* Set file access permissions
o sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper
* Finally, create a symbolic link call S99ndiswrapper in the folder /etc/rc2.d, from /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper
o sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper /etc/rc2.d/S99ndiswrapper

The tip is from Jim Hutchinson’s blog entry about Broadcom blues. Sounds like it’s something I should try out because I am still Broadcom blues every so often because of the modules issue.
