Package: broadcom-sta-dkms Version: 6.30.223.141-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I used to build my own kernel taken from www.kernel.org. I recently
noticed when trying to go for 3.15.x kernel serie that the DKMS
compilation was issuing a warning that prevent compilation of the
external module driver for the STA Wifi NIC.
Here is the full process getting through 'dpkg-reconfigure':

===================================================================
It seems to be only due to some warnings (probably a -Werror ?).
So, it shouldn't be hard to fix.
Finally, note also that the DKMS process is working fine on the
3.14-1-amd64 Debian package. And, this is what I use as workaround right
now.
