The v5.100.138 release that you mentioned requires v3.2 of the Linux kernel. I'll wait until this is in 'core' before making the changes that you've requested.

"""DIFF""":: -b43-fwcutter -w ""${pkgdir}"/lib/firmware/" driver/wl_apsta/wl_prebuilt.o +b43-fwcutter -w "${pkgdir}/lib/firmware/" linux/wl_apsta.o And remove the msg as the module is autoloaded ^^

More up to date versions can be fround from: http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-${pkgver}.tar.bz2 5.100.138 is the newest version and requires version 15 of the tools

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I was just being too cautious. I've removed the empty 'build()' function.

Huulivoide commented on 2011-09-01 18:50 (UTC)

whats the idea behind: build() { /bin/true } ? Build function isint needed at all O_o

I'm using the correct firmware then. Thanks a lot for the information.

You can read all about the two drivers on the following webpages. Since you have a BCM4313 chip, you need to use the 'brcm80211' driver. * http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 * http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211

Please don't understand this as a critic, but as a doubt. What is the difference between this firmware and the 'brcmsmac' module availabe in newer linux kernel (2.6.37+, afaik)? I have a BCM4313, so I suppose this is interesting for me as well.

Thanks for the suggestion; I've updated the PKGBUILD.
