Greetings,
Fedora always prompts when there are updates. I faithfully install them and inevitably lose my wireless functionality (and nvidia card functionality for that matter every time the kernel is ugpraded.
I recently updated from kernel 4.8.6-300 to 4.8.10-200. Again I don't have wifi.
I have it broadcom-wl installed via akmods. I read that akmod was suppose to solve this problem automatically where-as kmod is supposedly to be the cause of the problem I have. I clearly don't know what I'm doing because I'm posting here.
Anyway, it's getting old and I really want to focus on my work but I'm too stubborn to boot into 4.8.6-300. What gives?
$ lspci | grep -i wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel
kernel-devel-4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64
sudo akmods --force --kernel `uname -r` --akmod wl
Checking kmods exist for 4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64 [ OK ]
sudo modprobe -a wl
modprobe: WARNING: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64
I don't know where else I should be looking.
