Hi all, i can't get my wireless card to work, i try to follow this tuto to install my specific driver.
The problem is i can't do "rmmod ssb" to install the driver, ther error is : ERROR: Module ssb is in use by ohci_hcd

I managed to remove wl and b43, but not this ssb stuff...

any help would be appreciated.

thanks, good night.

blacklist them (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf), and reboot. then the module should no be loaded.

I've already tried it (couple of days i'm stuck with this fucking wireless).

This is what's in my blacklist.conf :

blacklist ssb
blacklist b43


And when i launch : lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl"

i get :

ssb 31824 1 ohci_hcd
mmc_core 40522 2 sdhci,ssb
pcmcia 23814 2 ssb,pata_pcmcia

seems that ssb is still loaded

disable "config USB_OHCI_HCD_SSB" ("OHCI support for Broadcom SSB OHCI core")
in your .config. and you should be able to unload ssb.
(alternatively rmmod "ohci-hcd" first, but you'll lose some usb ports).

I modified the entry and disabled it : CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_SSB=n

Now, do i need to do special stuff to disable ssb ? Cause it's still impossible to rmmod ssb...

if you don't want to do SSB at all, is there any reason not to simply remove it from your kernel configuration altogether?

CONFIG_SSB=n
CONFIG_B43=n

This is what you would generally want if you want to use the broadcom staging driver

Allright, then do I need to recompile everything just for this option ? Or Is there any way to avoid recompiling everyting ?

by "recompile everything" i assume you mean "if i rebuild my kernel, will it rebuild every single thing from scratch"

the answer is no.not unless you've run "make clean" for some reason.

make && make modules_install, copy your new bzImage to boot, and you're good to go
