Xenialpup64-7.0.8.5 k 4.9.15
HP 250 G4 laptop with Celeron 64bit processor --n3050
have driver Broadcom-sta-6.30-223 & patches directories together under Downloads. Broadcom directory contains oem non patched files. Patches are up to #17 [k48 - V5] from Ubunu
Pls advise how to patch driver [which one-amd64 or i386?] include directory tree for patches pls. NB this might not be completely standard, so pls be very detailed, as I'm quite thick.
How to patch and make a wifi driver?
sorry bcm43132
have patches to -version 5 to cover my kernel.
I've tried in terminal
cd Downloads/broadcom/amd64/lib
patch wlc_hybrid.o_shipped /root/Downloads/patches/01*.patch
can't open the patch file-does not exist.
but that's where it is file is named 01-shipped-module.patch
I'm doing something wrong--pls advise.

tks. when doing as advised the following lines appear:
--- a/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c 2016-06-13 11:57:36.159340297 -0500
+++ b/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c 2016-06-13 11:58:18.442323435 -0500
how should they be handled? I just typed in the full path of the file
(s) mentioned in ~b/~ and it seemed to process ok, but it would not make. a target ~/amd64/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.o does not exist
seems a very complicated way of patching files, using one at a time in order and having to insert the full path of the source file. IE I don't know how to make console walk back 2 levels and then continue from there whilst in patch. I note that the original files' name was never updated to advise user what patches were installed.
