Package: broadcom-sta-dkms
Version: 6.30.223.141-1
This is the latest version both in sid and testing.
This version does not compile on kernel 3.16.
Kernel 3.16 has gone stable in kernel.org, however it is still an rc6
marked as buggy in experimental and there is no indication of when it is
being ported into sid or jessie.
So I had to test with kernel 3.16 in siduction derivative because
connectors for additional monitors were not recognized by my video card,
explanation was that my laptop was too new for kernel 3.14 in jessie.
Kernel 3.16 from siduction solved the video problem alright but I got a
new problem because my wireless stopped working.
This time the explanation was that broadcom-sta-* was too old for 3.16,
but all drivers in jessie need to be working with 3.16, because it is
slated to ship with that kernel and there is an imminent code freeze.
So here are some details about the problem:
