Sorry for my (very) late reply, but for the sake of the archives I can
confirm, rebuilding the kmod-wl RPM did the trick for a recent kernel
update (ABI probably broken because of it). The mentioned URL still presents
up-to-date information and is valid in order to address this issue.

On your previous kernel, I believe you built/installed kmod-wl by
following this ELRepo article:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod

I suggest you do the same with the latest version of the wl driver. As
noted in that article, the kmod-wl binary packages built from the same
SRPM for the latest EL point releases are now available from the
nux-dextop repo.

[CentOS] Broadcom BCM4313 support broken with kernel 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64?

2015-10-31 Thread wwp
Hello,


I noticed that with latest kernel (2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64),
my laptop's Wifi doesn't work, whereas with previous kernel
(2.6.32-504.30.3.el6.centos.plus.x86_64), it works fine.

Is this a known issue or did I miss something new?

BTW, `lspci`  says:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
