I try to rebuild my system based on stable channels:

sudo nix-channel --list

home-manager https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.11.tar.gz
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11

but wb-broadcom-sta-6.30 cannot be build:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --no-build-output --show-trace --upgrade-all

How can I solve this problem ?

I can reproduce with

nix-build \
  -A linuxKernel.packages.linux_6_14.broadcom_sta --arg config '{ allowUnfree = true; }' \
  "https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/24.11/nixos-24.11.717196.9684b53175fc/nixexprs.tar.xz"

you can try temporarily downgrading the kernel until 25.05.

https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Linux_kernel

Maybe boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_13;

I never tired this and there is likely a better solution. so maybe wait for more responses.

Thanks @phanirithvij that allows to rebuild:
