Neither do I. The "modprobe wl" error:

 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

makes no sense to me.


I have no idea where 
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/kernel/lib/wl.ko
is coming from.


Using a freshly built/installed kmod-wl on a clean RHEL 7 VM:

 # modinfo -n wl
 /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko

On the same system (with the lines broken for readability):

 # modprobe -v wl

 insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64\
  /kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill.ko

 insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64\
  /kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko

 insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64\
  /extra/wl/wl.ko

There is no .../kernel/lib/wl.ko there. This may relate to the dkms
questions I had in an earlier mail.
