Broadcom wl driver for alpine linux

Uses akms

Since alpine got rid of non-free repository, the only way is to build driver from third-party APKBUILD.

Installation:

  1. follow this instructions: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alpine_package#Setup_your_system_and_account
  2. Copy ~/.abuild/key.rsa.pub into /etc/apk/keys
  3. Enter PACKAGER_PRIVKEY="$HOME/.abuild/key.rsa" into ~/.abuild/abuild.conf
  4. Clone this repo and cd into it
  5. Build package with abuild -r
  6. Go into ~/packages/broadcom-wl-akms/x86_64 and install package with apk add broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-r0.apk

It`s done!

If you followed instructions in wiki about keygen you can skip steps 2 and 3.


Tested with Broadcom BCM43142, iwd, alpine edge

With iwd and busybox's dhcp you will need to add that to iwd config

[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=True

With dhcpcd it may work without it
