Moreover, with kernels >= 5.17 there's an incorrect access to struct netdev (see LP: #1998039). [Test case] $ sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source [Fix] The following upstream commits have change the cfg80211 ABI in linux >= 6.1: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=efbabc11650040c64884ff3019b88c7bcc0ceb1d https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e7a7b84e33178db4a839c5e1773247be17597c1f Change bcmwl to properly support the new ABI changes. Moreover, to fix the incorrect netdev access with kernels >= 5.17 we can apply this patch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit- community/master/broadcom-wl-dkms/trunk/012-linux517.patch (see LP: #1998039 - thanks to Brett Holman for the backport and for reporting the problem). [Regression potential] We may experience regressions with kernels >= 6.1 using the bcmwl- kernel-source dkms. The code for the previous kernels remains unchanged.
