Bug 304637 – net-wireless/broadcom-sta version bump to 5.60.48.36

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description 2010dli 2010-02-11 22:14:37 UTC]

The current ebuilds for broadcom-sta in the tree depend on 5.10.91.9.3. However, the sources for this version are no longer available on Broadcom's website, so the emerge will fail. The current version of Broadcom's STA driver is 5.60.48.36, so the ebuild should be updated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to emerge net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9.3-r3

Actual Results:  
Portage is unable to download the source tarball, as it no longer exists on the website.

Expected Results:  
The emerge should finish without an error.

For future reference please use something similiar, this will help to prevent the tree from becoming poluted and give you the same results. Hope this help, I will second the vote for the version bump it has many bug fixes.

This is actually what should be used for the bump, .32 support is already avaliable from usptream and working.
