| Summary | 0000605: Kmod-wl built under EL 7.1 kernel fails to weak link against new EL 7.2 kernel | ||||
| Description | $ rpm -q kmod-wl kmod-wl-6_30_223_271-1.el7.tindall.x86_64 $ for i in extra weak-updates;do echo $i:;echo; \ ls /lib/modules/3.10.0-{229,327}.el7.x86_64*/$i 2>/dev/null;echo;done extra: /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/extra: wl /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra: weak-updates: /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/weak-updates: /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates: Since wl is absent under /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates, the kmod-wl built under an EL 7.1 kernel will fail to function after updating to the EL 7.2 point release. Will need to modify the nosrc.rpm to accommodate the updated wireless stack in the new EL 7.2 kernel. | ||||

Updated wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-2.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm is now available on the ELRepo mirrors. Using this nosrc.rpm, kmod-wl binaries can be built under EL 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 kernels, but each kmod-wl binary will only function for kernels in the point release range from which it was built. For example, kmod-wl built under EL 7.2 will fail to function when running an EL 7.1 kernel. Instructions for building kmod-wl from this nosrc.rpm can be found at the ELRepo Wiki: http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod The section entitled "Kmod-wl Usability Across EL Point Releases (or ″Why doesn′t my wireless work after the last point release update?″)" explains the EL point release issue. Download the updated wl-kmod.nosrc.rpm now so that you can build an updated kmod-wl after your EL 7.2 "clone" is released. |
