Summary | 0000683: kmod-wl does not build under EL 7.3 kernel | ||||
Description | Attempts to build kmod-wl using the Broadcom hybrid driver version 6.30.223.271 fail. Kmod-wl built under EL 7.2 will also likely not function using EL 7.3 kernels (not tested). The current Broadcom hybrid driver anticipates usage with up to kernel 4.2. The EL 7.2 kernel used a wireless stack backported from kernel 4.1, whereas the EL 7.3 kernel contains a wireless stack backported from kernel 4.7. An updated Broadcom hybrid driver compatible with kernel 4.7 would likely resolve the build issues. | ||||

Update: Have a patched wl-kmod.nosrc.rpm that builds under EL 7.3. Will release in a day or two (more testing required). |
|
An updated wl-kmod.srpm (wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm) has been released and can be used to build kmod-wl binary packages by following the instructions at http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod. This srpm can be used to build kmod-wl binaries under EL 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. Binaries built locally install correctly under EL 7.3, but since we do not have an appropriate Broadcom wireless enabled system running EL 7.3, we are unable to test functionality under EL 7.3. |
