  • Community Update: Workstation Pro 17.6 Fixes and Ongoing Access Issues

    Hi all,

    I want to provide an update on the situation regarding urgent patches for newer kernels.

    First, Workstation Pro 17.6 was released on September 3, 2024, and it includes fixes for compilation issues up to Linux kernel version 6.8. You can review the detailed release notes and knowledge base articles here:

    While these updates address many of the issues users were facing, I recognize that some concerns still remain, particularly around access to the products. The GTO team has confirmed that export compliance checks occur when users register at support.broadcom.com. These checks filter for factors like banned countries and free access, which is causing delays.

    We are discussing escalating to the legal, privacy, and infosec teams to find a quicker solution for the compliance review process. I appreciate your patience and understanding while we work through these challenges.

    Thank you for your continued support, and I hope the recent fixes bring some positivity back to the community. I'll provide further updates as more information becomes available.

    Best regards,
