CachyOS kernel 7.2 gains Broadcom Wi-Fi DKMS fix
By RepoJournal ยท Filed ยท About CachyOS
CachyOS pushed a DKMS fix for Broadcom wireless on the 7.2 kernel, ending the build failure for affected modules.
The broadcom-wl-dkms package now builds against the 7.2 kernel, with a pkgrel bump accompanying the fix [1][2]. Meanwhile, jupiter-fan-control dropped its hwmon rename patch because the hwmon name reverted to acpitz upstream [3]. Package updates landed across the AUR-derived set: floorp-bin 12.17.1, freetube 0.25.3, amneziawg-dkms 3.1.20260828, claude-code 2.1.251, and claude-desktop 1.40609.0, all with no risk flags from static scan [4][5][6][7][8]. zfs-utils moved to 2.4.5-2 [9]. Uptime monitoring confirms China mirrors USTC and Nanjing are responding with 200 status [10][11].
