DKMS problems fixed -- this will likely cover all sub-distros of Debian
This fix worked great to handle the Linux kernel 5.1 for the Realtek/Broadcom combo card (WIFI portion)
https://nest.parrotsec.org/h0tw4t3r/broadcom-fork-5.1.0-ker el/commit/9661e61c6e42e33fb591976ec15461ad45b71104
so, clone the git repo…
cd to the dir when you cloned the code (should see a Makefile)
run: make
make install
*this should create the wl.ko file.
I then copied this to /lib/modules/5.1.0-parrot1-3t-amd64/kernel/net/wireless
I then did a cd to /lib/modules/5.1.0-parrot1-3t-amd64/kernel/net/wireless
run:
insmod *
insmod wl*
to make this permanent, copy the wl.ko file to /lib/modules/5.1.0-parrot1-3t-amd64
then run:
depmod

thank you for responding.
I have been through that site.
I actually had the wifi working prior to the latest kernel update (5.1.0-parrot1-3t-amd64) using the broadcom-sta-dkms however the bluetooth has been a persistant headache, not that I use the BT very often but I do need the wifi on the laptop.
uname -a
Linux parrot 5.1.0-parrot1-3t-amd64 #1 SMP Parrot 5.1.3-1parrot1.3t (2019-05-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Rolling back the kernel is unfortunately not an option, and I have tried and verified the card is still working for both wifi & BT using a dual boot into windows.
So the search for the fix on this continues.
