Title:
Bcmwl-kernel-source doesn't compile against 4.0
Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
With a 4.0 kernel provided by http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.0-vivid/ , bcmwl-kernel-source fails to compile.
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/make.log is attached, key
problems excerpted below:
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c: In function ‘wl_cfg80211_get_station’:
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c:1444:20: error: ‘STATION_INFO_TX_BITRATE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
sinfo->filled |= STATION_INFO_TX_BITRATE;
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c:1444:20: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c:1457:20: error: ‘STATION_INFO_SIGNAL’ undeclared (first use in this function)
sinfo->filled |= STATION_INFO_SIGNAL;
The need to run a 4.0 kernel is because the 3.19.0 kernel in Vivid will corrupt and fail on a btrfs system. Either 3.19.5 or 4.0 are required to avoid this corruption: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1445252
