Broadcom Linux hybrid wireless driver (64-bit)
Just looking towards the future here with this one. If I had any level of C knowledge, I would provide a patch. Based on my knowledge, the fix should be easy though!
In src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c
, segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS)
is implicitly declared. It seems this is the only such function.
The wifi does work despite the warning, it has become very slow with connecting.
Based on cfg80211: change netdev registration/unregistration semantics
I came up with the following patch, which for me at least resolves the issue. Though I'm not sure both netdev register changes are necessary

it works on 5.6.12-1-default tho
i installed it on my package manager

this is because of function set_fs()

it's not open source tho we can get sources

which can be used on routers

There's a version of a patch for arch available here: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/207210d74637870c01ef5a3c262a597d
But that doesn't apply cleanly to this.
I can compiled and install the module successfully, but it freezes my system. So far, after several reboots, I have come so long as to select network before it again freezes.

This kernel comes from elrepo-kernel yum repository. http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml
I started seeing this error message in the CI environment while building wl
on Fedora 38 (Rawhide) against the 6.1.0-0.rc2.20221028git23758867219c.24.fc38 kernel.

While I understand its meaning, I'm surprised that the previous build against the 6.1.0-0.rc1.15.fc38 kernel on the same OS didn't yield such error.
Note: the previous CI environment had been provisioned manually on a cloud VPS by updating from a bare installation of Fedora 36 to 37 to 38 by using DNF System Upgrade, whereas this build was performed against a fresh Rawhide image (20221029.n.0). Some OS package versions may have differed. [irrelevant]
Note2: after another try on a fresh Rawhide image (20221104.n.0), I can confirm that building against 6.0.0-54.fc38 succeeds whereas building against 6.1.0-0.rc3.20221102git8f71a2b3f435.29.fc38 doesn't.
Hi,
I don't know if is the right place to ask. Currently I have a TP-LINK Archer T9E PCIE board with BCM4360 ( Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)) and seems that with the propietary driver AP mode is not available.
I've compiled and installed this one and seems the same thing. Do you know if is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks.
I am using BCM43228 card, the connection is fine and it works, but the connection bitrate shows up as 0 kb/s. With an Intel card, it worked fine. My setup is like the following
OS : Arch Linux (5.15.12)
Network manager : wpa_supplicant
Windows manager : i3 WM with i3 status bar
i3status
bar queries nl80211
driver output, I think. So, I tried forcing wpa_supplicant
to use nl80211
driver, but nothing changed (network connection works, but still 0 kb/s for the bitrate). Even with wext
driver option, the results were same.
I have a Rosewill RNX-AC1300PCE
wifi-card which use BCM4360.
I installed this package by following the manual instruction in the readme (so the make installation).
I rebooted my computer, but ubuntu doesn't recognize my wifi-card like you can see in this screenshot:
I don't know if it is revelant, but I also got some warning when I did a make
. I don't know if it change anything:

It seems no wl apter was drived.
I have the
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
The wl driver works, but Im trying to upgrade to the open source brcmfmac driver and it requires firmware. How does this driver work without firmware?
EDIT [09-Dec-2023]:
If you also have a TP Link Archer T6E AC1300 card with BCM4360 chip, TL;DR: the broadcom-wl driver doesn't support AP mode. As of writing this, it's been about a week now since I reached out to the TP Link support using their Email Support form. There was no response from them yet, so I don't think they're gonna work on this in future.
I'm using a Fedora-based distro (Nobara) with KDE, dual-booting with Windows 10 from a physically separate drive. I have the TP Link Archer T6E AC1300 wifi card and broadcom-wl driver version 6.30.223.271-21.fc38 from the RPM Fusion Non-free repository. My card is working fine and connects with my router, hotspots from my phones, but is unable to create a hotspot from the desktop.
Every time I click on the Hotspot button from the Network menu in the system tray, nothing happens and I get the message "Authorisation supplicant timed out". Below the is the notification popup that I see--
Blacksite is the name of my PC and wlp4s0 is the wifi card name in the system.
Below is the output of the command lspci -vnn -d 14e4:

I know that my card supports the AP mode because I can create hotspots in Windows 10, and also, it shows in the iw list

I tried using linux-wifi-hotspot by following this instruction, but I keep getting the following error--
pkexec --user root create_ap wlp4s0 enp5s0 'Blacksite' '12345678' --mkconfig /etc/create_ap.conf --no-virt
Config options written to '/etc/create_ap.conf'
Error: Failed to run hostapd, maybe a program is interfering.
If an error like 'n80211: Could not configure driver mode' was thrown
try running the following before starting create_ap:
nmcli r wifi off
rfkill unblock wlan
Command not found or exited with error status
PC Specifications:-
I have tried restarting the wpa_supplicant and the NetworkManager services multiple times, reinstalled the driver, tried using pre-installed drivers but card wasn't detected. Now I have no idea why the WPA Supplicant is failing.
I'm new to Linux, but I can find my way around the system, so I'll appreciate all the details provided when preforming tasks for troubleshooting. If it's not possible to create access point at all, then I'll appreciate the explanations too.
Thanks!

this apple device works with brcmfmac and should be exclude form broadcom-wl.
Thanks for exclusion.
Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but I've seen this with both the 5.19 and 6.0-rc1 kernels, and maybe earlier too...

Hello, thank you so much for maintaining this open source driver!
The culprit is shown in the below code snippet:
case NL80211_AUTHTYPE_NETWORK_EAP:
WL_DBG(("network eap\n"));
default:
val = 2;
WL_ERR(("invalid auth type (%d)\n", sme->auth_type));
break;
My suggestion is that we should add a single-line comment "// fallthrough" before default
, which documents the intention more clearly and also suppresses the warning.

I'm using the dkms version on Arch, and when I upgraded to linux 4.13.3, the networking stopped working. Same issue with linux 4.13.4. I have no problems when I go back down to 4.12.13.

Hi. I have problem with BCM43142 and HP x360 i3-4010T on Ubuntu 16,18,20 and 22.
The card result hard blocked in rfkill but there are no buttons.
When i try to up the interface up the wl driver return error -1 in dmesg.
Any solution?
Hello,
Is it possible to set BCM4360 device (Asus PCI-E AC68) into Access Point mode?
Currently there is no NL80211_IFTYPE_AP
mode in the list of modes:
wdev->wiphy->interface_modes = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION) | BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC);
Thanks in advance.
I don't know a lot about compilation.
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.
I installed gcc and make.
Then, I runned the command sudo make
, but I get this error (it is in french, if you need it in english, tell me)
