| 11-linux411.patch | Compile fix with kernel 4.11 I use the attached patch to get this module compiled with 4.11. Works for me since last sunday. Apparently https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/linux411.patch?h=broadcom-wl has come with a different patch for the removed last_rx field in netdevice. But judging the commit log https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/include/linux/netdevice.h?id=4a7c972644c1151f6dd34ff4b5f7eacb239e22ee and the fact that last_rx isn't used elsewhere I came up with just ifdef it out. |

| 17-Get-rid-of-get_fs-set_fs-calls.patch | Get rid of get_fs/set_fs calls in Broadcom WL driver. Fixes linux-next where get_fs/set_fs is already removed for some architectures. but I'm not familiar enough with the driver to remove them with confidence.

| 23-wl-Avoid-disconnecting-invalid-interface.patch | wl: Avoid disconnecting invalid interface Mimic brcmfmac driver and don't try to call WLC_DISASSOC on an invalid interface. |

| 18-wl-Make-sure-power_mgmt-settings-are-honored.patch | wl: Make sure power_mgmt settings are honored The driver does *not* respect calls to set_power_mgmt() to turn power saving off, it sets "PM_OFF" when it is asked to turn off PM by userspace. However, it seems that unidentified circumstances will turn PM to PM_FAST automatically again and again, disregarding user input. This patch uses PM_FORCE_OFF instead of PM_OFF which seems to reliably keep PM off, no matter the circumstances. |

| 19-wl-Fix-get-set-values-for-tx_power.patch | wl: Fix get/set values for tx_power The wl driver seems to be using an internal "qdbm" unit for the "qtxpower" registry, where hardware power is read, and naively using that value around the get/set cfg80211 functions. This 'qdBm' unit is simply (dBm * 4) and defaults to "23 *4" in `wl_linux.c`. This equivalency is confirmed in the brcmfmac kernel driver, which seems to be a cleaned up version of this one. This commit fixes getting and setting the txpower using regular utilities like `iwconfig` or `iw`. |

| 20-wl-Fix-mac-address-setting.patch | wl: Fix mac address setting The function was returning BCM_UNSUPPORTED (-23) when the device did not allow for mac address changes. This however corresponds to "too many files open" so userspace was getting conflicting info on what was happening. Example: $ ip link set wlp3s0 address 3c:15:c2:cf:29:dd RTNETLINK answers: Too many open files in system Now the function properly returns -EADDRNOTAVAIL instead. This fixes the popular error where NetworkManager is unable to connect to wifi networks when wifi.scan-rand-mac-addr=yes (the default) or other mac-addr options are in use (see the work around supplied by wpasupplicant in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-mac-addr-change.conf) Also, the function was incorrectly changing the `net_device->dev_addr` even when the hardware had not been able to change it. |
