Trouble with Broadcom 4313 driver

[Kolchedan]

Hi! I have a problem with the installation of the proprietary driver broadcom-sta (wl) when I compile appears an error:

With proprietary video driver AMD similar situation.

Make sure you have installed the build-essential and linux-headers (I see you have the headers installed).

Hi Kolchedan,

did you manage to resolve this? I have exactly the same issue.

Cheers

First Download package broadcom-sta-dkms-6.30.223.141-1 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool....141-1_all.deb [^]

Install the linux-headers-amd64 and dkms package.
Then in a terminal, execute:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 dkms -y && dpkg -i broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.141-1_all.deb

just after install reboot, works beautifully for me. :*
