Description of problem: cfg80211.h has changed between version 4.6 and 4.7 Missing lines make it impossible to install Broadcom wireless software /** * enum ieee80211_band - supported frequency bands * * The bands are assigned this way because the supported * bitrates differ in these bands. * * @IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ: 2.4GHz ISM band * @IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ: around 5GHz band (4.9-5.7) * @IEEE80211_BAND_60GHZ: around 60 GHz band (58.32 - 64.80 GHz) * @IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS: number of defined bands */ enum ieee80211_band { IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ = NL80211_BAND_2GHZ, IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ = NL80211_BAND_5GHZ, IEEE80211_BAND_60GHZ = NL80211_BAND_60GHZ, /* keep last */ IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS }; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): enum existed in /usr/src/kernels/4.6.7-200.fc23.x86_64/include/net but is missing in 4.7.2-101.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: attempt build and install fedora23_broadcom_wl_install.sh Expected results: Get broadcom wireless working Additional info:
This was done with upstream commit: commit 57fbcce37be7c1d2622b56587c10ade00e96afa3 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg> Date: Tue Apr 12 15:56:15 2016 +0200 cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg> Fedora does not provide or support out of tree and/or proprietary drivers. Your best course of action is to report this to whomever you got the wl driver from as they will need to adapt it for upstream changes.
