Is it possible to get it as official supported NonFree package.

No, it violates the kernel's GPL license by linking a binary-only module into the kernel module. (In reply to comment #1 from Marcus Meissner)

Temporary, it could be added to the openSUSE drivers:wireless project.

I doubt that it is legal to have it in the buildservice. Ciaran, could you give us an advice? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What you build in your home project is your business - providing you stick to the Terms of Use of the openSUSE project. Perhaps you could email Broadcom's customer service people and ask them to work with the kernel people - we talked to Broadcom in the past and they were not willing to help, but the more of their customers who actually contact them about this, the more chance that they actually do something about the issue in the future. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
