Hi Kernelnewbies,
i am doing the eudytpula challenge, currently on task #2.
it is about building your own kernel and booting it.
i successfully build the kernel and i am able to boot it but i have issues with my wlan driver.
when i run `$ sudo make install´ i get this error:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.0.0-rc1-eudyptula-20150228+ (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/5.100.82.112/build/make.log for more information.
the make.log says:
...
CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version
Makefile:80: Neither CFG80211 nor Wireless Extension is enabled in kernel
...
but i have cfg80211 configured!
~/linux/linux $ cat .config | grep "CFG80211"
CONFIG_CFG80211=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS is not set
# CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y
and i have wext configured!
~/linux/linux $ cat .config | grep "WEXT"
CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_WEXT_SPY=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y
although the kernel installs and boots, but wlan doesn't work.
i am on a debian system. lenovo edge e-135 notebook.
my current kernel comes from the official debian stable packages:
~/linux/linux $ uname -r
3.2.0-4-amd64
this is my wlan device:
~/linux/linux $ lspci -nn | grep Network
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
i cannot go without wlan.
can anybody help?
thanks in advance,
lukas
