I need to either blacklist or purge the broadcom driver brcmfmac in order to disable a broadcom wifi/bluetooth adapter in my system. Can anybody explain to me how to do it?



The reason is I'm running a dual boot system and I need to use the broadcom wifi/BT card on my other boot (hackintosh) and the integrated wifi/BT intel chip with the Ubuntu boot.



Currently Ubuntu sees both cards and occasionally there are several conflicts. As a test,I removed the intel chip and used the broadcom card on both OS's but this performed very bad with Linux while the Intel one performs very well.



On the MacOS boot (where the Intel chip is not compatible) I was able to disable the Intel chip and now I need to disable the broadcom wifi/BT card in Ubuntu. I thought that I should be able to achieve this by blacklisting or removing the driver?



Thank you!
