Version 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu5 of this package does not work on kernel 3.3 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/912155 : the compile error still happens, even if I already use this patched version)
I think it's because of the dkms declaration in dkms.conf : PATCH[3]="0004-Add-support-for-Linux-3.2.patch" PATCH_MATCH[3]="^3.2" which means that the patch 0004-Add-support-for-Linux-3.2.patch will only be applied on kernel versions starting with 3.2 (off-topic : I suppose the dot should be escaped?) I suggest to replace it with something like : PATCH_MATCH[3]="^3\.[23]" so that the patch would be applied for kernel 3.3, too. Maybe the regex should also be applied on further versions (3.4, 3.5 etc)? I don't what is the policy for that. NB : I did not have the time to repackage and test ** Attachment added: "Patch for dkms.conf, to enable kernel 3.3 support" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/912155/+attachment/2748185/+files/patch_dkms.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912155 Title: package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build (error: unknown field ‘ndo_set_multicast_list’ specified in initializer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/broadcom-sta/+bug/912155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
