I recently had the need to compile this against Linux 4.13 (from current xenial hwe-edge).
I was able to use patches 0023-add-support-for-Linux-4.11.patch and 0024 -add-support-for-Linux-4.12.patch from bcmwl_6.30.223.271+bdcom- 0ubuntu1~1.2 as the basis for creating 0014-add-support-for- linux-4.11.0.patch and 0015-add-support-for-linux-4.12.0.patch on top of Gerry's excellent bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu7 above. I'm now able to run bcmwl 6.20.155.1 in Linux 4.13 on this hardware to get reasonable wifi speed, without the random system lockups that 6.30.223.271 exhibited. The patches are attached, in case anyone has the same problem, or feels like packaging them properly (I sure don't; this is a temporary hack and I didn't even bother with DKMS: just compile, cp to new dir under /lib/modules/4.13.0-25-generic, depmod and modprobe). ** Attachment added: "0014-and-0015-patches-for-linux-4.11-and-4.12.tar" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1387221/+attachment/5045948/+files/0014-and-0015-patches-for-linux-4.11-and-4.12.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387221 Title: 14e4:4331 [MacBookPro10,1] bcmwl-kernel-source >= 6.30.223.30+bdcom- 0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1387221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
