Announcing the release of updated wl-kmod SRPMs into the EL5, EL6 and
EL7 elrepo repositories. This release is built for compatibility with
the Broadcom closed-source IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Linux drivers version
6.30.223.271 available at:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/?gid=1
These SRPMs can be used to build kmod-wl binaries to support various
Broadcom wireless hardware using instructions found at:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
We (ELRepo) cannot create and redistribute binary RPMS for these drivers
due to the Broadcom licensing restrictions (i.e., liability issues).
However, we do make available these no-source SRPMS (.nosrc.rpm) which
contain the framework required to build the binaries, but lack the
proprietary code and are not subject to Broadcom's licensing
restrictions.
Thank you,
The ELRepo Team
