Greetings all I would like to enable
CONFIG_B43_PHY_AC
in the kernel
However it depends on 'BROKEN'

Symbol: BROKEN [=n] │
Type : bool │
Defined at init/Kconfig:67

How do I enable Broken stuff in the kernel (for development)

Thanks in advance

turtles,

Are you sure you want to try that?
Stackexchange tells you why and what to do.

It doesn't tell you how.

Ahh Yes thanks Neddy!

I am going to poke around and see if I can fix the driver.
I need to dump the SPROM off the chip.
I'll make special grub entry for the broken kernel if I cant run it in qemu.
