Replacing the macro's __DATE__ and __TIME__ with empty strings gets around this error, but then other compilation problems come up. It looks like the module is not prepared for recent kernel versions :(

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This appears to be fixed in the latest upstream version: 6.30.223.248-2

[Nico Schlömer (nschloe)]

 @jsalisbury Really? I just downloaded 6.30.223.248 from [1] and still found `__DATE__` and `__TIME__` used in `src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c`. Haven't tried installing it, though.

[Michael Berg (5-michael-f)]

@jsalisbury tried to install 6.30.223.248 from broadcom website. the error is not fixed.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

@Nico, @Michael,

I downloaded the 6.30.223.248 source files from Lauchpad, which is what is used in Vivid: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.248-2

I built a .deb package with this version and attached it to the bug. Can you see if this package installs and works properly?

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Also, I backported the specific changes in 6.30.223.248-2 to 6.30.223.141, which should fix this issue. I attached the .deb package with the name:

broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.141-1-PATCHED_all.deb

Can you test this package and see if it resolves this bug? If it does, we can perform an SRU request to include the patch in Utopic.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Here's the patch I created and used to build the broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.141-1-PATCHED_all.deb package.

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The attachment "broadcom-sta-dkms-6.30.223.141-Utopic.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

[Thomas Karl Pietrowski (thopiekar)]

Installing the vivid dkms package in utopic fixed the problem for me.

Btw. here on vivid now the module fails to build again since 3.18.x.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

bug 1408385 has been created for the failed build on Vivid with the 3.18 kernel.

[DesertJim (jcrmassey)]

Thougth this was fixed

[Matthew Carpenter (matt-eisgr)]

Still a problem while upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10 from 14.04.

[Matthew Carpenter (matt-eisgr)]

btw, it's causing the install for the kernels to fail because initrd creation is failing.

[Kal (kparmar1)]

I'm having the same issue upgrading to 14.10 (from 14.04).

I am also using Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) (/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.141)

Has anyone got any ideas how to progress?
Thanks.

[Kal (kparmar1)]

Sorry I didn't notice that a back port patch was attached above. I'm going to install that and see if this resolves the issue. Cheers.

[navidR (navidr)]

The problem I have encountered is after I saw the error message I did uninstall the "broadcom-sta" package, but , even after removing it when I login into my account I get system report for error which is for broadcom-sta package.Is there any way to clean this package entirely from my system , because after installing "bcmwl*" package my wireless works.
