I no longer own hardware which uses this driver, so I'll be disowning this package since I can't even test it any more.

Feel free to adopt is, especially if any changes are needed. Upstream has been pretty stable though, so this shouldn't have any issues.

If you are getting a directory does not exist error check to make sure the dir name is correct. When I installed it was looking for '/usr/src/bcwc-pcie-r254.a22f248' however what was actually installed was '/usr/src/bcwc-pcie-git-r254.a22f248'. So I just created a symlink to the directory the installer was looking for and reran the install. Bit of a hack but it will get you going.

When I was trying to install this in my Macbook Air 6,2 (Manjaro Linux), it shows an error as follows: Error! Could not find module source directory. Directory: /usr/src/bcwc-pcie-r254.a22f248 does not exist. modprobe: FATAL: Module facetimehd not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.37-1-MANJARO Optional dependencies for bcwc-pcie-git linux-headers: Building with the stock kernel [installed] :: Running post-transaction hooks...

You should NEVER run makepkg as root. TBH, I actually thought makepkg bailed if you ran it as root.

kroylar commented on 2017-07-06 00:25 (UTC)

Please change the PKGBUILD to use "git cherry-pick -n ...". This will allow the package to build without a having git configured, as is typically the case for the root user.

We currently have two packages: bcwc-pcie-dkms and bcwc-pcie-git, but both track the latest git version. Upstream has not stable releases, and probably never will (since the intention is to merge the drive into the linux kernel). I'm inclined to simply merge this package into bcwc-pcie-git, (and keep just that one updated). Any objections?

omega-rebirth commented on 2017-05-01 22:28 (UTC)

Thank you for this. One thing I noticed is that this package has a hard dependency on "linux-headers" whereas other dkms packages list it as optional since not everyone uses the stock kernel. It might also be worth adding "linux-macbook-headers" as an optional dependency to hint at people with macbooks that there is a special kernel for them.

Many thanks! now is working! Just for info: MacbookAir 11' (Early 2015) Thanks again! ;)

I've update the SRCINFO just in case, please retry.
