Description Dave Kennedy 2016-04-04 04:54:21 UTC

I'm able to build the package, but when I try to load the module with `modprobe wl` the kernel crashes. Similar to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265385.

Here's the error: http://ix.io/vwk

Here's the rest of dmesg: http://ix.io/vwl

Here's `emerge --info`: http://ix.io/vwm

Finally, here's the kernel config: http://ix.io/vwn

Comment 6 Dave Kennedy 2016-04-21 02:55:24 UTC

After remerging this package I'm able to `modprobe wl` without errors. I've tried a number of things since reporting this bug so it's hard to say which might have fixed it. I compared my current kernel config to the attached here and they are the same, so no leads there.
