Bug#1030914: firmware-brcm80211 causes system to freeze and reboot
Package: firmware-brcm80211
Version: 20221214-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: mathiraj@hotmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
My system has the following network card
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
If i install the firmware for this card (firmware-brcm80211), the system freezes and reboots by itself.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
install the firmware with the command "sudo nala install firmware-brcm80211"
This causes the system to freeze and reboot.
I could not even collect any logs. When the system boots up, "dmesg" is clean. There are no errors.
Please let me know if there is somewhere else i should be looking for logs, errors and useful info to troubleshoot this issue.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Installing the firmware gets the network card to work. But in a short while (1 min approx) the system freezes and reboots.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect the system to funtion normally and not freeze/reboot
