Package: broadcom-sta-dkms Followup-For: Bug #1113676 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: amd64
I am facing the same issue since 6.16 reached unstable, on August 27th that is. So I asked someone who knows more than me and he said that the issue is the deprecated "from_timer" function. This function first appeared in the 14-linux415.patch file (the "4.15 patch" from now on). But manually changing that to "timer_container_of" does not solve the issue, possibly because there is another, later patch that needs to be changed too. Moreover, dkms fails to compile the driver even on 6.16 kernels of liquorix and xanmod, with exactly the same error. However, in arch and alpine which both have 6.16 nowadays, the module compiles with no issues at all, because their 4.15 patch does not have the "from_timer" function. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms https://codeberg.org/NeYurii/broadcom-wl-alpine/src/branch/main/patches p.s The system I am replying from is a desktop pc and thus it does not have wireless. The issue happens on my laptop which does not have reportbug installed. This is its broadcom wireless card, which works a great with wl, with issues with b43 and not at all with bcma, although all 3 supposedly support it. 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359] -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.16.3+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages broadcom-sta-dkms depends on: pn dkms <none> Versions of packages broadcom-sta-dkms recommends: pn wireless-tools <none> broadcom-sta-dkms suggests no packages.
