# Broadcom BCM43602 workaround
This is a quick and dirty trick to take control of this misbehaving network
card.
Scripts are tested on Fedora 29. If you have any problems, please file an issue

here or via email at `corsaro [AT] fedoraproject [DOT] org`.

Note that I did not want to package this workaround because it's, well, _dirty_.
It does not fix the problem, just makes things bearable.
## Install
```
# ./install.sh
```

Remember to blacklist the kernel module at system startup. Appending `modprobe.blacklist=brcmfmac` in GRUB config is sufficient.
