package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

[Steve Ebersole]

Seems similar to #580594 However that was 64 bit and i run 32 bit. Not sure if that is really a difference here or not.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and immediately ran into issues with my video driver. The only documented solution I founf was to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.34-2. That did in fact fix the video issues, but at the same time I now have these wireless issues.

On my Dell Mini9 I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.34-020634-generic installed from the latest mainline (17-May-2010 22:38). I was able to successfully build bcmwl-kernel-source copying the four headers found on /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic/include/generated to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic/include/linux.
Then I reinstalled bcmwl with a simple "sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source". That's all.

I am running ubuntu 32 bit on my 64 bit Dell laptop and wifi card is 1397 minicard. Let me know if it is the root cause of installing wireless package

I can build the module for 2.6.34-5-generic on x64_86 but loading fails with:

[ 12.693097] wl: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

I changed MAKE[0 ]in dkms.conf to:

MAKE[0]="make KERNEL_LOCATION=\${kernel_source_dir} KERNVER=\${kernelver}"

Dear EffE,

I'm new in Ubuntu; trying to copy the four files from /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic/include/generated to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic/include/linux but I can't; it seems I haven't enough permissions... How can I do?

Thanks a lot,

Michele

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a kernel provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
