Bug 369133 – net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-r1 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Naveen Goswamy 2011-05-29 03:46:40 UTC]

My ebuild fails for this package, after I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.37-tuxonice.

see this:

/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38/work/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:487: error: implicit declaration of function 'init_MUTEX'
make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38/work/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1

The patch to fix this error can be found here:

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/5_100_82_38.patch

Hope this helps,

Naveen

By the way, broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-r1.ebuild (currently the ~amd64 masked version), works.
