[SOLVED] Support for cores revisions 0x17 and 0x18 disabled by...

Hi,

I have been noticing a message (error?) during BL system boot from quite some time. It just remains visible to read for 1 or 2 seconds then quickly disappears. It's this recently that I managed to read the complete message, which is as follows:

Support for cores revisions 0x17 and 0x18 disabled by module param allhwsupport=0. Try b43.allhwsupport=1

I googled it, but didn't find any solution specific to BL and I don't want to take any risk either using some solution from other site which I don't trust. Hence, I am asking it here.

I have no idea what this message means, and if someone can help me understand it!? as well as how to solve it? It would be truly helpful.

@nobody: Thank you for your answer. My wi-fi works just fine, so I will just ignore it as you suggested.

But it would be great if I can suppress all those startup messages. Is there any way I can do that without breaking anything?

@HoaS:

Is there any brief guide for silent boot, for newbies.
Please forgive me for my lack of technical skills with debian, but that Archwiki link you gave says "Change the kernel parameters using the configuration options of your boot loader" ....

so to change the kernel parameters permanently in order for silent boot, I have to edit /etc/default/grub file right?
or am I doing it the wrong way?

I would like to get rid of all these start up messages, every single one of them, if possible.

Yes, exactly so

Add the desired parameter to the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" line, inside the quotation marks with each parameter separated by a space.

Be sure to run:

sudo update-grub

after you have modified /etc/default/grub in order to update the actual GRUB configuration file at /boot/grub/grub.cfg
