Today I upgraded to the new 2.6.37-r4 gentoo-sources kernel, by using my old config. In the older versions of the kernel, in order to be able to use my Broadcom wi-fi card, i was emerging the broadcom-sta ebuild. But for the 2.6.37-r4 kernel the module does not compile:

net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38 was built with the following:
USE="(multilib)"
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2"
CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2"

Please help me figure out how to install these modules, on google I couldn't find any useful information. Thank you very much for your help.

Any luck with getting this to work. I am having the same issue

Did you try this one:
net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-r1
It compiles and works with kernel-2.6.38 for me.
Module works fine with wicd so I am happy. But it does not work with network manager and freezes pc.

When I type the following I get an error

Code: Select all

emerge -pv net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-r1

net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-r1 is not a valid package atom
