Re: [lfs-support] bcmwl-kernel-source

2017-07-07 Thread Andrew Dance 
Thanks for the replies.

I must admit I'm a bit a dummy when it comes to this stuff which is why I
wanted to go through the whole LFS process to try and learn a bit.

I've attached the tree of the bcmwl-kernel-source debian package.

Do I have to compile any files?  Or do I just need to move them into the
right place in the file system?

I know  is looking for something in /lib/modules/4.9.9/ called
"wl".  Is it looking for a single file called "wl" or a directory, or...?

Could a rebuild my kernel and have it include a driver from list below?  If
so which file?

Thanks
