Created attachment 390076 [details] build.log I've encountered this bug with kernel 3.17.2-gentoo. Module wl.ko can't be built because of changes in alloc_netdev macro in recent versions. Finally, I resolved this by adding 3d argument: NET_NAME_UNKNOWN - I'll provide the patch. ----------------------------------------------------------------- emerge -pqv

Created attachment 390078 [details, diff] proposed patch This patch fixes usage of 'alloc_netdev' macro with kernel version >= 3.17
Error is still. It can't work with BCM43142 802.11b/g/n and kernel-3.17.4. I have just pasted the patch--'alloc_netdev_fix.patch' in /etc/portage/patches/net-wireless/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.248-r1. Should I need to install 'dev-java/java-config' , which I don't have but you do.
