Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installation of kernel 6.17 blocked/failed on sid/forky due to broadcom-
sta-dkms.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Found necessary changes at
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/broadcom-wl-
dkms/-/blob/main/021-linux617.patch?ref_type=heads Applied changes by hand to
(my) source and created debian patch.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Broadcom-sta-dkms builds. Kernel installs. Wireless functional.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
