Hello all, I was doing a system upgrade and noticed that the broadcom-wl-dkms package fails to compile for the 6.13.1 kernel (also upon further investigation, it appears the broadcom-wl package is no longer available in the repo).
This is my network controller (I also have ethernet which I am using for now)
21:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
DeviceName: Broadcom 5762
Subsystem: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries Device [14e4:0619]

# elapsed time: 00:00:01It seems like the kernel module lib80211 is missing. When I try to modprobe it, sure enough.
modprobe lib80211
modprobe: FATAL: Module lib80211 not found in directory /lib/modules/6.13.1-arch1-1Anyone know what's up here or what is the recommended solution other than just waiting for maintainers to update broadcom-wl-dkms or downgrading kernel?

You need broadcom-wl-dkms 6.30.223.271-39. Did you do a partial update?
Offline
This was patched just today. go ahead and run a full system update again while installing this package
Offline
All the needed patches are in the -39 release (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … f59954d425) but they weren't being applied on dkms install when I ran pacman/dkms.
To fix I added the 018-linux613.patch patch to /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/source/dkms.conf, and then manually re-ran dkms: sudo dkms install --no-depmod broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271 -k 6.13.1-arch1-1

Thank you for the explanation I have reopened https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … -/issues/2

Confirmed that this works. For anyone else experiencing this today, this means manually adding the last patch to the list of patches, so that /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/source/dkms.conf looks like this:
PACKAGE_NAME="broadcom-wl"
PACKAGE_VERSION="6.30.223.271"

AUTOINSTALL="yes"And running:
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dkms
dkms autoinstallAnd now my stupid question is, do I need to revert this before next update? It'll just be overwritten, right?
