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,

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.
