Re: Loading/blacklisting modules in Android x86?

[Ron M]

As per wifi, it is probably firmware issues. You should look under lib/firmware

I'm having the same problem as previously posted with the "wl" driver for Broadcom 4313 wifi cards crashing when loaded on android x86 Jelly Bean. The wl driver is segfaulting on load. The wl driver is the proprietary driver for Broadcom wifi cards but the open-source "brcm80211" driver supports most Broadcom chipsets now including the 4313. How do I blacklist the wl driver and get android to load the brcm80211 driver instead. brcm80211 seems to be available on jb-x86. I'm familiar with Linux but new to the Linux side of android and haven't been able to figure out how android handles hardware detection and module loading. Whats the android equivalent to /etc/modules.d and /etc/modules.conf?

If you build the iso from source, the easiest way is
remove CONFIG_WL=m in the kernel config.

You can blacklist modules at the kernel level by specifying module.blacklist=yes (i.e. wl.blacklist=yes) on the boot cmd line.

or by simply deleting them from /lib/modules
