Public bug reported: When I attempt to load wl with `sudo modprobe wl` I get a `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument` error.
When I check `dmesg`, I see the following: ``` [ 4965.490152] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data [ 4965.490158] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data (err -22) [ 4965.490178] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_scan_done [ 4965.490179] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_scan_done (err -22) [ 4965.490207] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_disconnected [ 4965.490208] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_disconnected (err -22) [ 4965.490226] wl: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_new_nm [ 4965.490227] wl: Unknown symbol wiphy_new_nm (err -22) [ 4965.490236] wl: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_register [ 4965.490237] wl: Unknown symbol wiphy_register (err -22) [ 4965.490258] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_put_bss [ 4965.490259] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_put_bss (err -22) [ 4965.490264] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_roamed [ 4965.490265] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_roamed (err -22) [ 4965.490288] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_gtk_rekey_notify [ 4965.490290] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_gtk_rekey_notify (err -22) [ 4965.490298] wl: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_get_channel_khz [ 4965.490299] wl: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_channel_khz (err -22) [ 4965.490308] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_ibss_joined [ 4965.490309] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_ibss_joined (err -22) [ 4965.490324] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_michael_mic_failure [ 4965.490325] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_michael_mic_failure (err -22) [ 4965.490341] wl: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_unregister [ 4965.490342] wl: Unknown symbol wiphy_unregister (err -22) [ 4965.490403] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_report_wowlan_wakeup [ 4965.490404] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_report_wowlan_wakeup (err -22) [ 4965.490413] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_data [ 4965.490414] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_data (err -22) [ 4965.490430] wl: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_connect_done [ 4965.490431] wl: Unknown symbol cfg80211_connect_done (err -22) [ 4965.490436] wl: disagrees about version of symbol __cfg80211_get_bss [ 4965.490437] wl: Unknown symbol __cfg80211_get_bss (err -22) [ 4965.490442] wl: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_free [ 4965.490443] wl: Unknown symbol wiphy_free (err -22) ``` Basically, `wl` has not been updated to support the latest Linux kernel, hence all of the unexpected version numbers.
