Slight error.

Look at the wl-kmod wiki page at step "5" (simplified below):

 http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod

  $ rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'packager  <your-name>' \
    /<path-to-nosrc.rpm>/wl-kmod*nosrc.rpm

You should "rebuild" the wl-kmod*nosrc.rpm, not the source tarball.

You placed the source tarball in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ so that it was
available for the srpm rebuild.

The rpm command will tell you:

 $ rpm -q kmod-wl
 package kmod-wl is not installed
