LinuxQuestions.org - broadcom bcm4313 wifi chipset on Asus Eee PC Seashell not working (CentOS 7)

Hello,

this is my first thread on linuxquestions.org.

I tried to solve the problem on fedora 28, but I had no success:
https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showt...ee-PC-Seashell

I downloaded again the driver's source package from here:
https://www.broadcom.com/products/wi...4313#downloads

This is the Makefile:

The Makefile is for Kernel 2.6 - that's all I understand.

And when I run make, I get these error messages:

Code:

/usr/src/broadcom4313/src/shared/linux_osl.c: In function ‘osl_getcycles’:

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Code:

$ uname -r

Any ideas?
