`$ modinfo cfg80211` revealed that the `cfg80211.ko.zst` file also existed in `/lib/modules/6.8.0-57-generic/ubuntu/iwlwifi/cfg80211.ko.zst`.
After running ``` $ sudo apt-get remove linux-modules-iwlwifi-6.8.0-57-generic $ modinfo cfg80211 filename: /lib/modules/6.8.0-57-generic/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko.zst ``` and rebuilding the driver, I got the same symbol version mismatch error as before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to broadcom-sta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2106329 Title: wl cannot be loaded in latest Linux kernel (6.8) Status in broadcom-sta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I attempt to load wl with `sudo modprobe wl` I get a `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument` error.

Could you please release an updated version? --- Aside: If wl cannot be loaded with modprobe with a `Key was rejected by service` message (i.e. Secure Boot is enabled, which can be checked with `mokutil --sb-state`), please direct the user to sign `/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/wl.ko` and load the MOK key. --- `lsb_release -rd` ``` No LSB modules are available.
