I guess you'll need to apply some extra patches to get it working:

I applied patches from Arch Linux https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/comm ... om-wl-dkms >>> patches-broadcom-wl-dkms-arch.tar.gz (probably this is not a good idea)

jrs, can you try my broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-19-x86_64-k.5.0.5.xzm (copy to /porteus/modules) for kernel 5.0.5 x86_64 with vmlinuz, 000-kernel.xzm, 06-crippled_sources-NNN-XXbit.xzm (kernel 5.0.5)?

=== Simple package (vmlinuz, 000-kernel.xzm, 06-crippled_sources-NNN-XXbit.xzm) ===
[5.0.5]

64bit-kernel5.0.5.tar (92 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/fzq4tiltu ... l5.0.5.tar
md5sum: c5c0c31b3485e82b1455a115c4f18d33 64bit-kernel5.0.5.tar

I think you know that need to replace vmlinuz, 000-kernel.xzm, 06-crippled_sources-NNN-XXbit.xzm and reboot PC.

Blaze, you are amazing, that solved it. Thank you very very much.
See you in another thread for all the other things I need help with

Solution:

jrs, can you try my broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-19-x86_64-k.5.0.5.xzm (copy to /porteus/modules) for kernel 5.0.5 x86_64 with vmlinuz, 000-kernel.xzm, 06-crippled_sources-NNN-XXbit.xzm (kernel 5.0.5)?
