Version: 6.30.223.248-3
Followup-For: Bug #773713

This package seems to work fine with 3.19-trunk from experimental when
pacthed appropriately. I used patches from Ubuntu and Arch:

https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl-ubuntu/blob/master/debian/patches/0015-add-support-for-Linux-3.18.patch
https://gist.github.com/hobarrera/ac0e6225210ac5bb13f6#file-broadcom-sta-6-30-223-248-linux-3-18-null-pointer-crash-patch

I had to change the paths to add amd64/ before src/, I guess you'll have
to make copies to do the same for i386 in the official package.

Bug#773713: broadcom-sta: Please support kernel 3.18

Followup-For: Bug #773713

Hello Cyril, Hello Eduard
I am also interested in Kernel 3.18+ support for broadcom-sta, but there seems
to be panic/lockup issue with newer Kernel versions.
There are freezes when going to suspend while downloading something or when
disconnecting the WiFi during a a file transfer.

The Gentoo bug tracker (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523326#c24)
offers a fix for these freezes which is working for me. See attachment.

Regards,
Bruno

Bug#773713: broadcom-sta: Please support kernel 3.18

2014-12-22 Thread Eduard Bloch

Source: broadcom-sta
Version: 6.30.223.248-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello Cyril,

I added the Gentoo patch for kernel 3.18 and fixed m-a support. I also
added versions to Breaks/Replaces because that didn't make sense IMHO,
the current versions can coexist. See attachment.

Regards,
Eduard.
