I Broke my wifi trying to use bleeding edge drivers. Trying to make them the default drivers for wifi, i.e. load on boot.

I did this:


---
In the directory of modules /lib/modules/current/ backup the modules:
cfg80211.ko, mac80211.ko and wl12xx.ko

copy all modules of bleeding edge in /lib/modules/current/.

reboot.
---


But didnt do it right, named files wrong, then moved 'wl12xx.ko' to a different folder. fixed all that, confirmed files are in correct folder. but it dont work.. running latest version of kernel 48, is that the problem??

thanks!

Transfer kernel-power-modules deb to Your device using USB/bluetooth and reinstall:
dpkg -i kernel-power-modules*

You can find the .deb file using the Package Search in my signature...

Reboot.

Install WLAN Driver Selector Applet and let that install Bleeding Edge drivers for You...

I wouldn't recommend using the bleeding edge drivers constantly.

If I remember correctly there are some issues with them.
