Removing DKMS Kernel Module
Now to Remove DKMS Kernel Module
To list the availables DKMS Modules use:dkms status
In case of a Broadcom Wl Module the output is:
broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271
Possibly to find out the Module Identifier:ls /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl
With a output like:
6.30.223.271
Then, to Remove the Module from All the Kernels use:sudo dkms remove broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271 --all
To remove it only from the current Kernel use instead:
sudo dkms remove broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271 -k `uname -r`
Now test the new Setup rebooting:
sudo reboot
But in case of a Custom Kernel installation you may be forced also to Remove the Module Directory…
Like for instance:sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl
Finally, possibly you can then try to Reinstall the Module in the New Kernel.
