Leap42.1 & broadcom bcm43142

I found the Packman Leap broadcom-wl rpm broken, so, I downloaded the .src rpm and tried to build it. The old command I use to use “build --rebuild” no longer exists with the new suse build package. I try to build it & it asks for a packman url; try again & it asks for a distribution; and so on until I gave up! I have to go to the build book & learn evidently!

long story short – I found –

 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/

which provides the broadcom-wl & kernel rpm module that works (after a reboot)! Thank you Mr Sauerland Sir!

Guess it’s been a while; of course, it’s “rpmbuild --rebuild packagename.src.rpm”. No wonder I couldn’t get it to build!
man rpmbuild

aside, I download the src.rpm and copy it to /usr/src/packages/SRPMS & then execute
and, as I recall when it’s done, you can find the rpm(s) in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64 (it will tell you).
