Just spent some time trying to do this. Can you please give more 'recipe' type instructions. If I install the driver, I get the fully compiled driver. If I install the source, it also compiles and installs the 'wl' driver.
Also, the current version of 16.04 no longer has that older STA package. It is currently version 6.30.223.271-2. This driver does compile and install, but as all previous versions does not connect. I can 'see' the WAPs and can attempt to connect, but the WAP never accepts the password. Once I install the source code by installing the 'broadcom-sta-source' package, how do I put your edited files in the directory and recompile the module then install it where it belongs? I once went through this a couple years ago and never got any better than what currently happens, Seeing the network, but not actually connecting. Works great in Windows at G and N, but the fwcutter based module only connects to G even though the current module can 'see' the N. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550608 Title: broadcom-sta-dkms doesn't compile on new kernels (SOLUTION) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/1550608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
