Bug#1027766: vim: backspace doesn't remove characters anymore
Hi, Same here, it seems that the M from VIM is gone : no history on undo command, no completion when opening a new file and a lot things are broken. $ dpkg -L vim-common | grep debian.vim /usr/share/vim/@VIMCUR@/debian.vim Everything seem ok after moving the file to /usr/share/vim/vim90.

Bug#778626: broadcom-sta-dkms: Module build ... was skipped
Le mardi 17 février 2015, 16:56:44 Rainer a écrit : Hi, First Installation: checking all kernels... Building only for 3.16.0-4-amd64 Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. Could you please check that the following links are present in /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/: build - /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/ source - /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common/ And check that target directories are ok. For your information linux-source is not required to build the module, installing linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 should be enough.

Bug#777280: broadcom-sta-dkms: API function (cfg80211_inform_bss) change since kernel 3.17
Hello, Kernel function cfg80211_inform_bss() parameter changed since version 3.17, so broadcam-sta-dkms failed to compile. According to this[1] and that[2], this is affecting kernel 3.18 only which is in experimental, not in testing. Anyway, current kernel in testing is 3.16. I'll try to upload a new version with clean patch in *experimental* in few days or weeks.

So, I must separately maintain this amd64 driver for bcm43142, on private repo, at least temporarily. Should I open an ITP?

Bug#672677: broadcom-sta-dkms: Fix the version check for 3.* kernels
Hi,
With your patch (ie when enabling cfg80211), I get a lot of syslog messages
like these :
ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rssi (-1)
ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rate (-1)
After reading a thread[1] from ArchLinux users and having a look at the code
of brcm80211 driver[2], I think we (need to|can safely) remove the capable()
call made in function wl_ioctl() from file wl_linux.c.
Oddly, ioctl call sometimes returns an EINVAL error when getting RSSI value,
the test is:
iwconfig wlan0 # No error / bit rate value is displayed
iwconfig# EINVAL error / bit rate value is missing
Error also occurs when I activate my network monitoring applet (kde, but same
behaviour with Conky, see[1]).
So could you please test attached patch and tell me if it's ok for you ?
Kind regards,
Cyril Lacoux

(It didn't scare only me, but a quick strawpoll in #d-devel said the same.) I understand, on the other hand, I'm not a lawyer and I think my english is not good enough to discuss about license terms with Broadcom's lawyers, how do you generally proceed when such a problem occurs ?

Bug#659732: [autobuild] Please add broadcom-sta to non-free autobuild list
Hi, Broadcom-sta[1] is the proprietary driver for some wireless network cards from Broadcom. I recently switched package architecture from «all» to «amd64 i386» because the driver has a prorietary precompiled part which is only available for these two architectures. After last upload to amd64, package has been «decrufted» from «all» architecture and is now missing for i386 (See #659732[2]). Could your please add broadcom-sta package to the autobuild list ? I checked the license and saw nothing that could forbid such thing. Moreover this is not really a compilation since the two concerned packages (broadcom-sta-source and broadcom-sta-dkms) provide the source tree of the driver. Thanks, Cyril Lacoux [1]: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=broadcom-sta [2]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659732 PS: I'm not a DD, please keep my sponsor Julien to CC list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The bug #652811 is now assigned to broadcom-sta-source. i'm a semi-advanced linux debian user, and i think that the problem could be on the driver or some uncompatibility with one of the packages cuz the system freezes when i try one of the following: (it happens whit broadcom-sta driver. the brcm80211 driver don't let the system to load it loads frozen) - Boot the system with the wlan on (led on so the wifi card is on)- System Freezes. Only when xorg is loaded (KDE Desktop) i can turn on the wlan0 and it detects the networks - When i have booted correctly and turn on the wlan0, and try to connect to some network - System Freezes - Every thing that deals with connection management of the wlan comes to a system freezes. Bad news: looking for acer + BCM4313 + freeze gives a huge amount of results and it doesn't seem to be related to broadcom-sta. I found two interresting links, the first[1] recommends to blacklist acer_wmi module, the second[2] recomments to blacklist atl1c (as a result the ethernet card should stop to work).

Bug#648396: broadcom-sta: Breaks existing configuration after renaming interface
Le vendredi 11 novembre 2011 08:35:01, vous avez écrit : Geoff, Due to 02-rename-to-wlan0.patch (applied via #648169), the interface created by wl was renamed (now wlan0, formerly eth1) following an upgrade. This affected my existing ifupdown configuration, requiring amendments within /etc/network/interfaces to restore wireless LAN connectivity. You're right, I missed the point since my configuration is handled via network manager with dhcp only. Mea culpa. I don't see why it was necessary to divert from upstream here, as other non-mac80211 drivers (e.g. atmel*, ipw2100, ipw2200, orinoco*, zd1201) were not adapted to follow this mac80211 convention. Not really necessary but a clean patch was submitted and all wireless interfaces that are in my other computers are named wlan0, so why not? If users are to be potentially inconvenienced after a package upgrade, this should be noted in a NEWS.Debian file. Right, are you ok with this message: Interface is now renamed from ethX to wlanY to follow mac80211 convention (in my case, eth1 was renamed to wlan0). If you experience any networking problem after this upgrade, you should have a look to /etc/network/interfaces file and replace any occurrences of ethX with wlanY. You can also safely remove the old configuration parameters concerning wl module from udev persistent network rules file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (I'm not a native english speaker, so any improvements are welcome) Many thanks for all your contibutions to this package!
