Broadcom-sta (aka wl) --> Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel
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: ...

Hi, Lukas. Have you tried brcmsmac in-kernel driver? I am not sure about support status for BCM4313, but drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac have a lot of code related t BCM4313. I have BCM4312 and am using successfully in-kernel driver instead of Broadcom's out-of-tree driver. -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov Secure e-mail with gnupg: See http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP Key ID: 0x57A3AEAD
