I tried to emerge the broadcom driver but it fails when compiling with this error: >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r1 >>> Failed to emerge net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r1, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r1/temp/build.log' >>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 failed Load avg: 3.68, 1.82, 0.81 * Package: net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r1 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: matsuu@gentoo.org * USE: amd64 consolekit elibc_glibc kernel_linux multilib policykit userland_GNU * FEATURES: preserve-libs sandbox splitdebug * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 3.2.0-rc1+ * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...

Use kernel 3.2.0-rc1 or later 2. try to emerge broadcom-sta Actual Results: Compilation fails Expected Results: The driver should compile without errors It looks like the compilation error is because in kernel commit b81693d9149c598302e8eb9c20cb20330d922c8e the callback ndo_set_multicast_list was removed: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b81693d9149c598302e8eb9c20cb20330d922c8e
Fixed in cvs. 5.100.82.112-r2
