I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) and unless I run rmmod b43 ; sudo rmmod bcma ; sudo rmmod wl ; sudo modprobe wl after restart, the wireless device isn't available in network devices. Is there a way of making it work without having to modprobe the device issues?

  • Use `/etc/rc.local` – muru Nov 10 '15 at 16:15
  • Thanks, I'm trying to figure out if I should be running this or fixing the problem so I don't have to run it. Should all the commands go on differet lines with or without sudo in rc.local? – Steven Ellen Starar Nov 10 '15 at 16:20
  • Without `sudo`, they can be on same or different lines (as long as the `;` are retained). You could add these lines, and then look into fixing the problem. – muru Nov 10 '15 at 16:23

I believe /etc/rc.local is not the efficient way to do this. I suggest, from a terminal:

sudo -i
echo "blacklist b43"  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist bcma"  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo wl  >>  /etc/modules
exit

Reboot and you should be all set.
