Hello Alan & Manuel,

thanks again for the reply and for taking the time to explain this to me.

I was able to build the wl-kmod with the latest Centos standard kernel 
successfully, and I will follow your advise and use this kernel on our 
machines.

I did however first wanted to test the updated Elrepo-ml-kernel:

Linux localhost.localdomain 3.7.2-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 11 
21:38:01 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root at localhost ~]#

I again tried building the wl kmod module with the same 
wl-kmod-nosrc.rpm and the same hybrid-prtsrc...tar.gz ( that didn't 
change, did it? )

this is the output I get :
