[Solved] AUR missing broadcom grsec driver

Hello,

There used to be a broadcom-wl-grsec package in AUR that worked fine for some Broadcom chips on the alternate kernel.
It seems to have gone completely missing from the internets, if anyone can at least point me to the old version I'd be grateful. This isn't some ancient package either, I installed a working system with it ~2 months ago, but I had to reinstall, didn't notice it was removed, so now no more wireless .

Thanks

Maybe 2 days ago I compiled it for my friend. I've merged PKGBUILD's from old broadcom-wl-grsec and current broadcom-wl-ck. I'm not that willing to maintain it, but if you're in hurry I could upload it to my dropbox for the time being.

Worked like a charm, thank you.

I keep dreaming of that distant future where kernels and drivers are written in a functional language and compiler errors don't scar the mind.
