Kernel 5.10.83 compiled

December 04, 2021 — BarryK

I recently compiled the 5.10.81 kernel:

I have received a request to bring back the Broadcom STA wifi 'wl.ko' moldule. It was announced back in December 2020:

https://bkhome.org/news/202012/broadcom-sta-wl-wireless-kernel-driver.html

It was compiled with the 5.10.39 kernel, but was removed afterward.

OK, it has returned. It must be understood of course, that the wl.ko module conflicts with others, hence has to be a separate PET. It means that every time you upgrade to a later version of EasyOS that has a later kernel, you will have to un-install the PET and install the one that matches the new kernel.

Kernel source, with patches and build scripts, is here:
