Hi there, the upcoming kernel 5.10 breaks with the set_fs()/get_fs() calls to differentiate between user-space and kernel-space memory. For details see
<https://lwn.net/Articles/832121/> As a result, the broadcom-wl driver does not build against kernels from Kernel:HEAD in OBS anymore. The issue already started in 5.9, when I created a small patch to address the situation at that time. Now that the two calls are gone, a new patch is required. I found out that the Debian guys created a new patch for 5.9 called 17-Get-rid-of-get_fs-set_fs-calls.patch The name is quite obvious I think. I rebased our former "broadcom-wl.linux-5.9.patch" based on that one which makes the package build again for all current distro versions. The SR is <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/5270>; can someone please accept it? DISCLAIMER: I don't have such WLAN device myself anymore, thus I cannot test if it actually works! If someone wants to test this new version, please try out the packages built in my PMBS account: <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/home:manfred.h/broadcom-wl> I'm going to add a "Testing" target there soon to build against OBS Kernel:HEAD HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
