Package: broadcom-sta-dkms
Version: 6.30.223.141-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi
Currently broadcom-sta-dkms just blacklists the free drivers
unconditionally. This is OK on a normal system, but a problem for live
systems intended to be used on a wide range of hardware. There the
blacklisting should be based on the actual hardware configuration
present.
The attached patch adds a script for live-config to the
broadcom-sta-dkms package. This script uses a list of PCI IDs where the
broadcom-sta driver should be used. If any of these devices are present,
the blacklisting entries are uncommented, otherwise they are commented
out. The ID list in the patch is based on the list of supported devices
in the broadcom sta README file. I commented out one ID where the driver
did not work and the free driver works just fine.
I only implemented this for broadcom-sta-dkms, but not for
broadcom-sta-common. But AFAICS the same approach could be used there.
But I'don't use this package, so I could not test it.
I implemented the packaging changes in the way that seemd most aligned
with the current rules file. But if you prefer using more debhelper
magic and a *.dirs and *.install file would be possible too.
