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.

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

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.

Hi Andrey,

i tried it again, it works perferctly! thanks. i also tried the brcmsmac driver from the debian repositories under my old 3.2 kernel and there it still was slow as hell, seems that the wireless guys did a very good job improving this driver!

Congrats. That is another reason to run latest kernel. -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov Secure e-mail with gnupg: See http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP Key ID: 0x57A3AEAD
