http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1998 Summary: Review Request: broadcom-wl - Common files for Broadcom 802.11 STA driver Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: nicolas.vieville(a)univ-valenciennes.fr CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org Depends on: 1907 Estimated Hours: 0.0 SPEC: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25699833/rpmfusion/broadcom-wl/broadcom-wl.spec SRPMS: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25699833/rpmfusion/broadcom-wl/broadcom-wl-5.100.... Description: This package contains the license, README.txt and configuration files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a Linux device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware. $ rpmlint rpmbuild/SPECS/broadcom-wl.spec 0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. $ rpmlint rpmbuild/SRPMS/broadcom-wl-5.100.82.38-1.fc15.src.rpm 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. This package is an upgrade from the actual broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.src originally provided in FC-15 to the 5.100.82.38 version. This version is not the very last one (ie 5.100.82.111) because there seems to have some difficulties with it. Even if the 5.100.82.111 package build correctly, kernel panic happened when I tried it on FC-15-x86_64 and according to this thread http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514 others distributions have the same problems. Broadcom needs probably to fix this last version. So, I preferred to keep the 5.100.82.38 version as this one is working for me from march 2011 and FC-14 to FC-15 today. The spec file is largely inspired by the rpmfusion broadcom-wl for FC-14 one. Since Broadcom doesn't provide anymore the original sources files on its site, I had to upload the copy I had on a DropBox share and provide direct links in the spec file. I don't know if this is correct. This review request comes after this bug report: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1907 I'm a newcomer in such things and not very familiar with packaging, but I'm volunteer for this package. Same request made for the wl-kmod package. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
