I tried to follow this:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom , which 'does'
some similar steps as written in your wl-kmod.spec about patching, but I
couldn't patch this successfully:
wl-kmod-rhel7_1.patch -
Hunk 3 failed at line 2074. For what I can understand from your method, you
do;
Perform "patching" edits to the src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c file.
# Note: Using this method, as opposed to making a patch, allows
# the nosrc.rpm to be compiled under various point release kernels.
# Note: Use [ >][>=] where both >= & > are present
%if "%{kvl}" == "3.10.0"
%if %{kvr} >= 123
# Apply to EL 7.0 point release and later
# > No changes currently needed for EL 7.0 point release
%endif
%if %{kvr} >= 229
# Apply to EL 7.1 point release and later

%endif
%else
echo "This specification file has been written for use with RHEL 7 kernels
only."
false
%endif
My guess is; 1) I'm too noob and I have failed like 10 times (which is very
plausible), or 2) for some reason something in this part fails... I'll try
again removing everything for being sure that I'm not failing in that.
