So, after a bit of hacking around, I was able to get my BCM4313 working with the latest bcmwl-6.30.223.30 and the latest kernel 3.10.0.
I think the main problem that I originally had, and that others ( https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-February/msg00125.html ) started having was due to the bcmwl driver changing to use API=CFG80211 (the current make default) instead of API=WEXT, which I assume it was using before? Well, switching back to WEXT made things work for me. Getting it to compile with 3.10.0 was an additional tangential hurdle -- the function "create_proc_entry" no longer exists. Perhaps something like this should do the trick: --- wl_linux.c 2013-07-31 21:28:10.000000000 -0400 +++ /sloppyhacked/wl_linux.c 2013-07-31 23:18:22.000000000 -0400 @@ -3461,19 +3461,27 @@ return length; } +static const struct file_operations wlp_fops = { + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .read = wl_proc_read, + .write = wl_proc_write +}; + static int wl_reg_proc_entry(wl_info_t *wl) { char tmp[32]; sprintf(tmp, "%s%d", HYBRID_PROC, wl->pub->unit); - if ((wl->proc_entry = create_proc_entry(tmp, 0644, NULL)) == NULL) { + if ((wl->proc_entry = proc_create(tmp, 0644, NULL, &wlp_fops)) == NULL) { WL_ERROR(("%s: create_proc_entry %s failed\n", __FUNCTION__, tmp)); ASSERT(0); return -1; } +/* wl->proc_entry->read_proc = wl_proc_read; wl->proc_entry->write_proc = wl_proc_write; wl->proc_entry->data = wl; +*/ return 0; } #ifdef WLOFFLD -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097519 Title: Wrong driver used for older Broadcom chipsets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1097519/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
