I have an issue where the bcrmfmac driver for a Broadcom 4360 wifi adapter is not properly loading, leaving the adapter unclaimed. A driver conflict or corruption, or something. I have two wifi adapters installed, and originally this Broadcom adapter worked fine out of the box, while the Intel AX200 adapter did not. After I got the Intel adapter working, the Broadcom adapter stopped working. When booting from a Ubuntu 2022.04.02 live USB, both drivers work out of the box with no additional drivers or configuration. I am running Ubuntu 2022.04.02 with kernel 5.19.0-46.
I have tried installing the firmware-b43-installer package, but this does not help, and I don't think this is installed out of the box when it was working before and on the live usb. I can't find any blacklist files for wifi adapters. I have tried re-installing the linux-firmware. Nothing works. The Broadcom adapter works fine on the live USB and Windows.
Running sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma gives "FATAL: Module wl not found.
Running sudo mod probe brcmfmac gives "ERROR: could not insert 'brcmfmac': invalid argument"
Does anyone have any suggestions on why the brcmfmac driver is not properly loading, and how to go about fixing this?
Output from the Ubuntu live USB where both wifi interfaces work out of the box:
