SRU request: [Impact]
* As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the module against linux-generic-lts-raring in Ubuntu 12.04. [Test Case] * Install linux-generic-lts-raring * Enable the precise-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel- source (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2). * If the package installs without errors from DKMS, then the patches work correctly. [Regression Potential] * The patches that I backported from 13.10 will preserve the current driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.2) and linux-generic-lts-quantal (3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected on these kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095751 Title: bcmwl fails to build with 3.8 kernels [error: ‘struct cfg80211_ibss_params’ has no member named ‘channel’] Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “broadcom-sta” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “bcmwl” source package in Precise: In Progress Status in “broadcom-sta” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Upcoming 3.8 kernels have broken this DKMS package.
