As the subject states, net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r2 causes crashes on gentoo-sources-3.6.x kernels. I experience the crash during boot, so it's not exactly easy to give details in a very easy to use format, but I'll attach images of the screen during the crash. If these prove insufficient, I suppose I could prevent the module from loading during boot, then when system is up, load it and see if I can cut/paste the error screen, not sure if it'll hard lock the system or not. Reproducible: Always

I've experienced same error too, I guess the broacom-sta code doesn't handle the new 80211 structure in new 3.6 kernel well. You can workaround it by forcing broadcom-sta to use the old WEXT api.

Created attachment 326562 [details] Output of emerge =broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r3 compile failing Tried the patch, but compile fails, this is the output against current 3.6.2 kernel. I haven't tried yet on 3.6.0.
confirm. Debian~unstable dkms works. More about this weird fact: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7163902.html#7163902 I have tried with exact same linux .config but failed as William above.
I have looked into the source codes and now I have a little idea what it is about: Why Debian dkms method works and Gentoo not? - Debian dkms method has a rotten linux kernel version lookup functio, not working! - The wext interface method has been stalled ever since. - All the patches time to time of broadcom-sta "*.c" files just have had dependencies kind of: #if KERNELVERSION > some VERSION but ignoring wext. My Debian dkms method of compiling a wl.ko just misses these kernel VERSION #if introductions. With Debians dkms call I get an old kind of wext interfaced wl.ko ...
Got it compiled using: CONFIG_HOSTAP=y # CONFIG_MAC80211 is not set
Created attachment 326626 [details, diff] broadcom-sta.ebuild patch similar above .... Forget my comment#9 It is some special linux .config Options which are unusual these days. I have patches broadcom.sta ebuild like some posts above....
So, this is solved at last for me with above patch. But I am unsure about syntax: CONFIG_CHECK="... ~!MAC80211 ..." this compiles with having set in linux .config CONFIG_MAC80211 but should not. Could I instead do without ~tilde CONFIG_CHECK="... !MAC80211 ..." prevent execution of emerge?

I used the patch in comment #11, and enabled CONFIG_HOSTAP in kernel, and compiled fine. The problem is, NetworkManager is picking up the interface as a "wired" instead of "wireless", and don't know how to resolve it. It used to work fine with kernel 3.5. The wireless I have works with bcma module in the kernel, but it seems that I get frequent disconnections when using that. With propietary wl module, it seems to work better for me, so that's why I'm trying to use it. 12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Inspiron M5010 / XPS 8300 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at fb300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?> Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-38-ff-ff-04-c0-cb Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?> Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge Kernel modules: wl, bcma

*** Bug 439062 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thanks, new ebuild and patch works for me with 3.6.2
Interesting: The new Ubuntu-12-10 has additional firmware, which loads from /lib/firmware/b43 with a tool /lib/udev/firmware: b43 369753 0 mac80211 539908 1 b43 cfg80211 206566 2 b43,mac80211 bcma 35656 1 b43 ssb 52036 2 b43,ssb_hcd And my broadcom wireless functions without any wl.ko from broadcom-sta.
So the solution is to enable CONFIG_HOSTAP and use the attached ebuild. Hope it will be commited soon.
@Piotr, I just managed to activate this Ubuntu-12.10 linux-firmware-nonfree with Gentoo: Just copy the files and activate CONFIG_B43_* variables! (but not B43_PCMCIA)
I confirm that the attached ebuild + selecting HOSTAP resolves this problem. My wireless network runs smooth again (b43 doesn't work well for me)!
i had been using the broadcom-sta driver and was able to switch to the brcmsmac in the kernel. here is info on this and checking the support for your wireless chip http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Supported_Chips

Sorry, did not immediately understand the deployment comments
3.6.5 is not WIRELESS_EXT and LIB80211_CRYPT_TKIP options
I had a similar (can't say if it were identical) issue. kernel 3.5.x worked just fine, 3.6.x failed horribly. I ended up using the brcmsmac kernel driver, this should actually make for better forward compatibility for me, and possibly others ?
does not CC arch teams
Had this exact issue with BCM43228 DeviceID:4359. Confirmed that the patch in comment#11 along with HOSTAP in kernel resolved the issue. (neither b43 or brcmsmac worked for me).
I have a BCM43227 Device ID 4358 and the patch (comment#11) fixed my issue. The driver was crashing either on boot or shortly after logging in. Now my system works as it did before updating to the kernel version 3.6.11.
(In reply to comment #17) Archlinux links seem to be dead. But the patches from https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2526 are derrived from there and work for me on a 3.7 kernel.
I hit the same problem. Again, patch from comment #11 plus CONFIG_HOSTAP fixes it for me (and I imagine the ebuild from comment #16 would, as well). Admittedly, this workaround is probably not the "right" solution. Multiple people have reported the problem here, multiple have reported the successful fix, multiple have voted for it, multiple distros have experienced it, confirmed it, and fixed it. Can we _at_least_ move this bug past "UNCONFIRMED"?

Can we _at_least_ move this bug > past "UNCONFIRMED"? The problem is this package has no maintainer. Given that it requires certain hardware, it is difficult for one of the few few developers that try to help out with maintainer-needed bugs to test and fix (especially given the length of this bug). If you (or anyone else with the hardware) is interested in maintaining this package, please have a look at proxy-maintainers[1]. [1]: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/proxy-maintainers/index.xml
I added the patches mentioned in here and over there 459208, because I received and bug everytime I started my wlan card - 4313 - see comment #4. Right now the card is working without any problems. I'm using Gentoo 64bit with gentoo-sources 3.7.10-r1.
Changed the ebuild to use WEXT for >kernel-3.6.0. It should hit upstream as soon as a dev commits them. Please refer to #438622 for further details. Until then, get them from my overlay; tbc in layman.
