These modules are located at https://github.com/Broadcom-Switch/OpenNSL. The latest SDK version is 6.5.12. We would like to have the kernel modules included with the LTS Bionic kernel so that we can provide these modules to network vendors so that they don't have to compile them and taint our working kernel. We would want to manage these modules so that we can perform updates and security fixes to the kernel and even use kernel-livepatch with these devices. Currently, Network vendors compile and build these against older kernel's and then they cannot be patched or updated leaving network devices vulnerable to security threats that normally would be patched by our systems. By having us manage these modules, we can maintain security and compatibility with the kernel and the network vendors can use our native kernel with their software. The three modules that get built are linux-kernel-bde.ko, linux-user-bde,ko and linux-bcm-knet.ko. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. These modules are included in the Xenial LTS kernel (4.4).
