Bug Description

Yesterday, after a system update for kernel 5.17.5-76051705, in Pop 22.04, the wifi did not work more.

After to try uninstall e reinstall the bcmwl-kernel-package trough Pop Shop (it closes when the process is running) and terminal, it shows some of the following messages in lines:

Building initial module for 5.17.5-76051705-generic
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-5.17.5-76051705-generic is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.17.5-76051705-generic (x86_64)

I am not sure if here is the right place to communicate this kind of problem or if it is a bug.

But I think in soon others will have the same problem.

I've found a fix:

    Run the usual install

sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

2. When it stops with the error, edit the file

sudo gedit /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom/source/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c

find PDE_DATA( and replace it with pde_data( . There should be 2 replaces total. Save the file.

3. Continue the installation with

sudo apt-get -f install

4. Enjoy =D
