wonder how to fix this
Did you try the suggestion from my last posting?
sudo apt-get purge exfat-dkms sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.10.173-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-5.10.173-antix.1-amd64-smpI recommend at least trying what Robin has suggested; it makes good sense. Try it before going off on various tangents, only to end up eventually doing what has been suggested or giving up.
Please run the commands Robin suggests and report back with your results. Thank you!

Yes, I just tried, many other modules won’t build this time:

In that case, try
sudo apt-get purge exfat-dkms sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-headers-6.1.18-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-6.1.18-antix.1-amd64-smpIf that doesn’t work, but the 4.9 or another kernel does work, use it instead.
I’ve had difficulties with the 5.10 kernel on one of my systems in the past too; I just use a different series or different version and all is well.Hope that helps!

Brian MasinickStill met similar errors, with attached make.log
In that case, try

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.1.18 … /dkms/broadcom-sta …
This means the broadcom-sta modules are not available for the 6.1.18 kernel.
If you don’t need these specific broadcom sta hardware drivers, just remove the package the same way you have removed the failing exfat module already:sudo apt-get purge broadcom-sta-dkms sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-headers-6.1.18-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-6.1.18-antix.1-amd64-smpQuoted from
apt-cache show broadcom-sta-dkmsBroadcom STA is a binary-only device driver to support the following IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n wireless network cards: BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-, BCM43228-,
BCM4331-, BCM4360-, and BCM4352-based hardware.If you haven’t one of these wireless network chips installed in your PC then you can safely remove the package and install the kernel. If you happen to have one of these you can still install the kernel after removing the package, but the wireless won’t work then. In this case it’s a good idea to check whether another kernel matches all your needs. That’s always the hassle with the binary blobs provided by hardware manufacturers instead of proper source codes, so these modules fail constantly. Nvidia binary blobs are even worse, they stopped providing them for older cards so you can’t use them anymore in full functionality meanwhile. That’s their way of creating forced obsolescence to sell more new devices.
Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Thank you once again Robin.
I used to have the same BCM series, mine was the 4311. Most of the time I was fortunate to get it working but it wasn’t always easy. I’m thankful that Intel and several other options have made things considerably easier in recent years.
I’m not sure how much better Broadcom has done but I believe that someone bought them. I wish their wireless interfaces were all made 100% public. Intel certainly makes money when their network products are as accessible as their other chipsets in various products though Intel has to continue to make wise choices and investments.
Chip manufacturing requires huge initial research and development investment and yields many fold when done properly.

One possible solution that is not practical for everyone is to pick up an external USB wireless interface, some of which have a small antenna.
I happen to have a tp-link (also known as “Archer” in the past), model AC600.
This model supports multiple Wi-Fi bands, including the 2.5 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands, and it has an adjustable antenna.
I’ve not needed it often, but it can come in very handy.
These days, at least in the USA, it’s possible to obtain this antenna for under $20 US; I’ve seen it recently for around $12.
That could be a viable option for systems containing only the poorly supported Broadcom proprietary interface.

Regarding WIFI External adapters
TP-Link TL-WN821N TP-Link TL-WN823N work well
I have both. The smaller stick needs a bit of distance from the
laptop to work best. Use USB Cable.TP-Link TL-WN822N 300Mbps High Gain Wireless N USB Adapter
is either Atheros WN822N or r8188eu (Realtek RTL8188EU )
New realtek and is claimed good with linux.All are cheap and cheerful…

Thanks @xunzi_23 – yes, there are several good ones. Some of us are fortunate and we do not have to change what we have.
In fact, I rarely need mine any more. But when I was using the Broadcom 4311, at times it could be something that would work on one system and not another because it was actually a proprietary interface, at least in the original form.I’m using my OLD Lenovo X201 right now.
