Problems around my notebook - I need some debugging around the kernel

[Zoltan Hoppar]

It has been solved. There is an bios switch where you could choose between
wlan of lan. I have reseted to factory default - so rfkill turns off. I have
reactivated broadcom wl driver - and set up params - now I'm workin on wifi.

Thanks for everybody help
