            Bug ID: 194903
           Summary: After updating Kernel to 4.9.9 my wireless adapter
                    does not work
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.9.9
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: IPV4
          Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
          Reporter: jemel.robinson@icloud.com
        Regression: No

I have a Macbook Pro 13" (7, 1) and when I updated my kernel version to 4.9.9
(F25), my broadcom wireless adapter is no longer detected. I have since updated
to the latest kernel and have gotten the same result. As of now, I am currently
operating at the kernel version prior to 4.9.9 (4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64
) and I am able to use WiFi with no issues. I have tried uninstalling and
reinstalling the broadcom -wl driver to no avail. I narrowed the issue down to
the kernel simply by updating the kernel only and after reboot, wireless was
gone.

Hi Stephen,

The issue here is with an out-of-tree driver, ie. broadcom-wl, so not
really a kernel issue. Anyway, I asked for more info in bugzilla to
determine whether using the brcmfmac driver, which is supported
upstream, is an option.

Regards,
Arend
