Package: broadcom-sta-dkms
Version: 5.100.82.112-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hello Debian users and gurus

As many other users, I can't have my wifi module working with Linux Kernels up
to 3.8.

Module wl.ko works with 3.8-2 but not with 3.9 and 3.10.

#   apt-get install --reinstall broadcom-sta-dkms

The begining of the DKMS compilation is working for 3.8-2 so ain't no use
posting it right here.

I have tried also to compile the module from the tarball and from the Debian
source (apt-get source), but in both cases it seems that the file asm/system.h
is missing and makes the module unable to compile.

Using kernel Linux 3.8-2-amd64 at this moment and all is working fine.
