If you try to open the page: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/ … 9.3.tar.gz you can see the link is broken.  You can report the issue.

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

But first, you should do an update the whole system.
Btw, why are you using makepkg?

I know, but if you use yaourt or packer to install the package you don't need do the makepkg.

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

The reason the AUR build doesn't download is that the wl driver has been updated as of 2/9/2010. So just do it by hand. problem solved.

[edit] forgot to include link.

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

or you can just edit the PKGBUILD file

line 4 should be : pkgver=5.60.48.36
and line 16 : md5sums=('0466d863405e1ab99d5e288fe886e852' '32ff612baa296c08fdf0f4e837479e7b')

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

It isn't working. There is a problem with md5sums...

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

Just generate the sums yourself and update the pkgbuild.

Re: broadcom-wl AUR package problem downloading

[slums@slums-pavilion Downloads]$ md5sum hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.60.48.36.tar.gz
0466d863405e1ab99d5e288fe886e852  hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.60.48.36.tar.gz

perhaps you're using x86_64 version...  then :

[slums@slums-pavilion Downloads]$ md5sum hybrid-portsrc-x86_64-v5.60.48.36.tar.gz
a78095ddcc30a191f64dccbc31b84de8  hybrid-portsrc-x86_64-v5.60.48.36.tar.gz

so just change it in PKGBUILD
