Broadcom-sta-dkms; kernel source does not seem to be installed

Help and Support Apple TV
1

I’m keeping (if I can) my broadcom 4321 wifi card. Suits my appletv’s new purpose. Ran into a stumbling block though.

When doing;
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
gets;
“kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.”

kernel sources are installed.

2

did a complete fresh installs of the last 3 hdd sets, installed headers and source, same problem repeated.

From where?

You need to grab the OSMC ones (apt-cache search to find them).

Assuming you use the official card that came with the aTV, you don’t need to set up DKMS (ugly approach) or a driver.

kernel sources and headers are the osmc ones corresponding to my architecture (atv), and uname -rr

Would need to see the full output.

You may need to fix your KSRC path in your Makefile.

i’ll explore the Makefile after some sleep, I’ll post the full output shortly.

Debian DKMS targets 3.16, so you will probably spend some time hacking that anyway.

You need to pass KSRC. You can check the postinst and run the steps manually.
