@Jristz: It just seems it hasn't been updated for a while now Last Updated: 2012-12-21 02:57 I've updated the PKGBUILD to use the new version and I'm testing it right now (works well on the BCM4322). I've also e-mailed Xavion, the package maintainer about this and sent him the source package. I hope it will be updated soon. :)

I don't get it, you download broadcom-wl version 5.100.138, but first the webpage list broadcom-wl-6.30.163.46 as major version and you get this named b43-firmware and from an older version, please you can explain this to me?

No, it's in the "base-devel" group. See the AUR wiki page for an explanation.

binutils seem to be required, please add :)

I think you meant to paste all of that to the comments section of the "broadcom-wl" package instead. Either way, I recommend that you use Pastebin from now on, so as to help keep the AUR looking nice.

I have downloaded the old version from here, but it did not solve the compilation error. I guess my kernel is too new. http://www.2shared.com/file/9aAEZ4Um/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_8.html $ uname -a Linux inge 3.9.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 14 08:12:55 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ makepkg ==> Making package: broadcom-wl 5.100.82.38-3 (Thu Jun 20 07:32:26 CEST 2013) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz -> Found modprobe.d -> Found license.patch -> Found semaphore.patch -> Found mutex-sema.patch ==> Validating source files with sha1sums... hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz ...

Broadcom has updated their driver to version 5_100_82_112. I have tried to adjust the PKGBUILD, as follows, but I get the following error while compiling: ==> Starting build()... patching file src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 245 (offset 5 lines). patching file src/wl/sys/wl_iw.h patching file src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!

You might need to load the 'b43' module explicitly when using 'systemd'. If that doesn't work, perhaps you should file a 'systemd' bug report.
