You shouldn't have to do a full reinstall just to get my source rpm rebuilt and 
working. Lets see if we can figure out what's wrong.

First of all, could you give me the output from the following commands
>From a terminal, run 
uname -r

rpm -ql wl-kmod

Hopefully the version returned by the first command matches the path listed for 
the kernel module in the second command.

For example, on my unit, the uname -r command returns 
 2.6.31.6-17.1.moblin2-netboot

And the second command gives me the kernel module path as 
 /lib/modules/2.6.31.6-17.1.moblin2-netboot/wl.ko
