That is false. The OP lost his wireless capability, BECAUSE of a bad module
load, BECAUSE he moved /usr from one partition to another, BECAUSE a
partition was full.

The problem WENT AWAY when the OP moved /usr back, THUS PROVING that this
was the ROOT PROBLEM, and AND PROVING that overpartitioning was the ROOT
CAUSE.

Now the OP has no easy solution to his PROBLEM CAUSED BY OVERPARTITIONING.
He can reinstall Linux, of course. Next time he will KNOW BETTER THAN TO
OVERPARTITION.

The ENTIRE PROBLEM is trivially traced to the fact that a partition became
full while there was free space elsewhere. This is a COMMON PROBLEM caused
by overpartitioning.

Great argument. And something one expects to see when the facts contradict
you.

Honest to God.
