Public bug reported:
1.) On my computer instead of a lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped_i386 this driver seems
to expect a file named wlc_hybrid.o_shipped. Just do a
cd /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom
sudo make
to get a descriptive error message:
/usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom$ sudo make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-11-generic'
LD /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/built-in.o

CC [M] /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/src/wl/sys/wl_iw.o
LD [M] /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/wl.o
ld: cannot find /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped: No
such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/wl.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-11-generic'
make: *** [all] Error 2
If the file /usr/src/bcmwl-5.60.246.2+bdcom/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped existed at
the last compile run you will have to do a
sudo make clean
to be able to reproduce the error.
2.) For some reason with kernel 2.6.37-11-generic the following command:
install -D -m 755 wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
won't install the driver somewhere modprobe will find it - even if it doesn't
output any error message and the uname -r clearly returns the right path. If I
manually replace the uname with a path:
sudo install -D -m 755 wl.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
installing the driver works.
Does anybody understand what is going wrong here?
