Description Robert Meyer 2009-07-05 09:00:31 UTC
After upgrading to editoadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r2.ebuild, I could not load the wl module. This was caused by the fact, that there were two wl.ko files in the library directory, one in /misc/ (the r1 ebuid) and the new one in net/wireless/. Removing the old driver and running update-modules and depmod -a resolved the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to editoadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r2
2. reboot
3. modprobe wl

Comment 1 Robert Meyer 2009-07-05 09:07:25 UTC
Sorry, typo. the ebuild is broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r2
Comment 2 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-14 15:34:08 UTC
5.10.91.9-r1 in portage tree doesn't install into misc/. Perhaps, its old overlay ebuild, isn't it? Could you try to emerge 5.10.91.9-r1 again?
