(Why) is this package still required with the recent kernel? Is there a newer version from broadcom upstream?
Created attachment 632982 [details, diff] Fix Slightly modified patch made by a user on the debian mailing list.
(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #3) > (Why) is this package still required with the recent kernel? > Is there a newer version from broadcom upstream? Not all devices are supported by that, some still require this driver. My wifi chip (BCM4352) being among them. At least according to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi#Wireless_supplicant anyway.
i also use a BCM4352. Thanks for the patch it works perfect and solves the problem.
Should i update the status of the ticket?
