That includes the current 4.11 hwe-edge and the upcoming 4.13 hwe-edge kernels and some of the custom and cloud kernels as well. [Test Case] Install the bcmwl-kernel-source package with the 4.13 hwe-edge kernel from -proposed. The package installation should proceed without any errors. [Regression Potential] Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since the new changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel version. Besides that the new package was tested with the following kernels in an amd64 environment: - linux-generic 4.4 - linux-hwe 4.10 - linux-hwe-edge 4.11 - linux-hwe-edge 4.13 (from xenial-proposed) - linux-azure 4.11 - linux-azure-edge 4.13 (which is in process of getting promoted to xenial-proposed) [Original Description] Testing failed on: amd64: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-xenial/xenial/amd64/b/bcmwl/20171018_120646_2caa6@/log.gz i386: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-xenial/xenial/i386/b/bcmwl/20171018_120820_2caa6@/log.gz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1724863/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
