Description Nicolas Nicolas 2020-02-23 09:52:37 CET
Hello,

It seems that the kernel 5.5.4-1 is in conflicts with package 
dkms-broadcom-wl[< 6.30.223.271-55]

$urpmf --conflicts kernel-desktop-5.5.4-1

kernel-desktop-5.5.4-1.mga7:radeon-firmware[< 20190603-1]
kernel-desktop-5.5.4-1.mga7:x11-driver-input-vmmouse[< 13.1.0-1]

But it seems that the broadcom package is still in the updates_testing repository.

Therefore, users updating to 5.5.4-1 kernel might lose there wifi connexion due to removal of  6.30.223.271-53.

Note: i can't test as i don't have the hardware.

Ah, we tested if some code fixes would help for bug 25884, but that didn't help.

As the fixes are valid and confirmed in bug 25884 that the driver is  still working, flushing this out
