[elrepo] wl-kmod error at installing

[Diego Farias]

Hi Steve; yes, I have read the README so this is rare. Here the outputs:

[root at dhcp121-83 dafh]# uname -a
Linux dhcp121-83.astro.puc.cl 3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 5
16:07:00 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root at dhcp121-83 dafh]# rpm -q kmod-wl
kmod-wl-6_30_223_271-2.el7.local.x86_64

[root at dhcp121-83 dafh]#  find -L /lib/modules -type f -name wl.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/wl/wl.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko

rpm -qf /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko
kmod-wl-6_30_223_271-2.el7.local.x86_64

but then again:

modprobe wl
insmod: ERROR: could not load module
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/kernel/lib/wl.ko: No such file or
directory
modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command for wl
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Operation not permitted

Thanks
