Thanks for the info. I saw the error, I just wasn't sure it was actually<br>
looking in /lib/firmware since the file exists there.<br>
<br>
Here is the info you asked for:<br>
<br>

Thank you for your time on this.<br>

Roy, Nick,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time and effort testing this.<br>
<br>
My initial thought is that compat_firmware_class might be causing the<br>
issue. I assume if you try to unload it (modprobe -r<br>
compat_firmware_class, it unloads the too??<br>
<br>
If either of you had working wireless _before _ the 6.3 kernel update,<br>
could you possibly roll back to the previous working version<br>
kmod-compat-wireless and kernel, and show the above output again from a<br>
working system (e.g, lsmod | grep 'b43\|firmware')<br>
<br>
Many thanks.<br>
<br>

Hi both,<br>
<br>
Sorry, scratch that for the moment!<br>
<br>
I think we might need some updated udev rules for the new compat_firmware_class module.<br>
<br>
Can you download 50-compat_firmware.rules and compat_firmware.sh from here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.elrepo.org/people/phil/compat/udev/" target="_blank">http://www.elrepo.org/people/<u></u>phil/compat/udev/</a><br>
<br>
and install to:<br>
<br>
/lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh<br>
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_<u></u>firmware.rules<br>
<br>
File permissions/ownership should be set as follows:<br>
<br>
$ ll /lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh<br>
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 994 Aug 7 22:49 /lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh<br>
<br>
$ ll /lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_<u></u>firmware.rules<br>
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 193 Aug 7 22:49 /lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_<u></u>firmware.rules<br>
<br>
reboot and test.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
