and then the build stops. I tried to read up on that error message, and it

find any specific information about how to fix this.
Hans,
At the URL you gave, it is stated that they fixed the problem:
"Probably requires some backports from master like daf6744 and c71233f"
followed later by
"Fixed by backporting those two commits and testing build."
Those fixes are in patches here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/c71233f12cb976b259e88ee4300687df26e5377d/pkgs/os-specific/linux/broadcom-sta
Click on a patch, then select raw and copy and paste the text.
They apply all the patches in this order:
i686-build-failure.patch
license.patch
linux-4.7.patch
linux-4.8.patch
linux-4.11.patch
linux-4.12.patch
null-pointer-fix.patch
gcc.patch
You may, or may not, want the license patch - with it you will likely see
something like "wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel"
in the kernel logs.
Do let us know if the patches do the trick.
Cheers,
Mike Shell

That did the trick, thanks a lot! Looks like I just didn't understand what was
written on that page correctly.
Actually, I even found a linux 4.15 patch on
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl/
I'm now using my BCM4322 using the 'wl' module with NetworkManager, and it
works great!
Thanks for your help.
Hans
