I was disappointed to find there was no activity on this problem for a week. It is hard to believe no-one knows of a circumvention.
I've not been able to use the wireless adapter ever since I "upgraded" my laptop to 13.04, and will need to use it tomorrow but will not have access to an ethernet link... Fortunately, I am using ubuntu studio. It uses the low-latency kernel, but I had forgotten the distro also installs and maintains the generic kernel. I rebooted with 3.8.0-26-generic and was very happy to discover the dkms source compiled cleanly. The machine is running fine on wifi with the generic kernel. So what is it about the low-latency kernel headers that is different to generic, and also breaks the compile of bcmwl-kernel-source? Surely it isn't necessary? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156138 Title: bcmwl-kernel-source fails to build on lowlatency kernel [FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module wl.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_unlock'] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1156138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
