My older laptop needs broadcom-sta. Back when I bought and setup the laptop (kernel 3.18.12), I emerged broadcom-sta and wireless worked.
Now I am upgrading to kernel 4.9.16. The kernel boots but no wireless. In /lib/modules/3.18.12-gentoo-3 I have net/wireless/wl.ko. In /lib/modules/4.9.16-gentoo-3 there is no net. Am I supposed to remerge broadcom-sta? If so how do I indicate the kernel version for /lib/modules? Do I set the the /usr/src/linux symlink? Do I run 4.9.16 during the emerge? Something else? thanks, allan
