I attempted to catalog the large number of variants of this driver floating around the web: https://github.com/dbason/crystalhd/blob/master/HISTORY.md
Here are the ones I've found, roughly in order of most obsolete/broken to newest: 1. Staging driver from Linux kernel v3.16 version (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/tree/drivers/staging/crystalhd?h=v3.16) — this version was removed in 2014 from v3.1 (http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1408.0/01475.html) due to the fact that it was unmaintained and obsolete; it only supported the BCM70012 chip, for example. * See this LKML kernel thread from 2013 where Steven Newbury and Greg K-H discuss this code: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/27/103 2. The Debian version, which appears to be based on a ~2010 version of the code from the mainline kernel, and like it only supports the BCM70012 chip. 3. Jarod Wilson's tree, last updated in 2012: http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/jarod/crystalhd.git/ 4. Yeradis's tree, forked from Jarod's tree, and last updated in 2013: https://github.com/yeradis/crystalhd 5. Dbason's tree, forked from Yeradis's tree, and last updated in 2016: https://github.com/dbason/crystalhd Only the last version can be built and used without error on a modern kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579216 Title: why was crystalhd-dkms package removed?
