 Done.

And check the log file “/var/lib/dkms/bnxt_re/221.0.114.0/build/make.log”

It shows

Makefile:603: arch/aarch64/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/aarch64/Makefile'.  Stop.

Seems cannot find the Makefile, that because the drvier cannot locate right Makefile, because the include architecture is arm64, not aarch64 in Linux kernel .

By the way, basicly arm64 and aarch64 are the same thing, I don’t know why it shows aarch64 on kernel architecture and use arm64 as fold name. probably some traditional history.

solution is easy, go to the include folder and link arm64 to aarch, DONE! ex:

cd /lib/modules/4.18.0/build/arch
ln -sf arm64 aarch64

不過在 ubuntu 下, 其實這個工作更容易
[BASH]
# sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[/BASH]
然後就會下載並且編好 Broadcom Wifi Driver.
會放在 /lib/modules/[kernelversion]/updates/dkms 下
以我的為例, 就會放在
[BASH]
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic-pae/updates/dkms
# ls -lF
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 10812004 2010-07-01 10:16 nvidia-current.ko
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 2138420 2010-07-16 11:55 wl.ko
[/BASH]

wl.ko 就是 Broadcom wifi 的 module 了, 接下來就是像一般 Wifi 的用法了.

不過這是 STA. 如果是 AP 的話一般人大概是拿不到的.
個人測試過 43225 w/o EEPROM 是沒有問題的.
