Ditto for 802.11g end-station and 802.11n AP, am I correct? That's what I read just about everywhere yet am unable to make it work. So naturally I have to doubt everything. :) > > Is broadcom-sta the part I am missing? > > > > Probably. Some distros call it broadcom-wl or simply wl since the > module it builds is actually "wl". Since I got the source from Debian > (older one, upstream has only the latest one) and they call it > broadcom-sta, I kept the name. Aaaand.. it fails to build. Building against Linux-3.12.1 (weird how glibc is suddenly irrelevant). But the problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start mending the problem. wl's code calls the function create_proc_entry(), supposedly expecting it to be defined in the kernel, but which only exists in two points in the kernel, both of them behind an "#if 0" switch which means the code is deleted by the preprocesor. IOW, there is no mention of create_proc_entry() in the kernel. And it also tries to access fields in some structure (struct proc_dir_entry) that simply do not exist. So I expect I will be unable to make it compile since I have no idea even where to begin with fixing this much lossage.
