I have certain Broadcom drivers clearly blacklisted in 50-broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/:



# modules blacklisted for broadcom-wl
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ndiswrapper
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcmsmac


But they are still being loaded!



$ lsmod | grep b43
b43legacy 151552 0
b43 450560 0
bcma 61440 1 b43
mac80211 888832 2 b43,b43legacy
ssb 86016 2 b43,b43legacy
mmc_core 163840 2 b43,ssb
cfg80211 696320 4 wl,b43,mac80211,b43legacy


OS: openSUSE Leap 15



Some other posts mention running mkinitrd or dracut. When is this relevant for blacklisting modules?



Note, 50-broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf was probably created by some openSUSE tool, I don't remember creating it. Strange that tool wouldn't call a mkinitrd if it was necessary.



We are living in systemd era, but I don't think systemd is not relevant for blacklisting modules (yet).



I am blacklisting this modules because I have to use Broadcom proprietary STA driver with my bcm4360 chipset card.
