linux-headers-5.10.3-051003-generic is not supported

Hi Christophe TORRES (looping404),

I added to bcmwl driver which included linux kernel 5.9 and 5.10 patches to wireless drivers PPA. You can try to add PPA with following command.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

Bcmwl packages on PPA supports up to Linux kernel 5.10 and supports bionic, focal and groovy bases.

Pathes based following links.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Updating to 5.10.17 and DKMS still has issues building the kernel.

It would be really nice if this would be fixed for kernel 5.10 (kernels 5.8 and 5.6 are working fine). I can also get he drivers to compile using the above patches for 5.10. It would be nice if the bcmwl-kernel-source package were updated to include them.

I can confirm that the PPA described in post #2, above, works on a MacBook Air 6,2. Please get this fixed prior to Hirsute's final release!

Installing bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb from Ubuntu fixes the issues with 5.9 and later kernels.

Thanks for coming back on the issue, Jeff.

I tried to install the bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb but it still does not work (at least for me):
