[elrepo] wl-kmod error at installing

[Diego Farias]

I don't see it either, but:

[root at localhost dafh]# modinfo -n wl
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko

Well, Steve, I'm really grateful because of your help; I don't understand
this problem but I'm sure *someday* I'll be able to fix it (I don't expect
to be wireless-less for all the life of this computer).

If you, or anyone in this mailing, have an idea about what's going on,
anytime, please answer this list or contact me.

Thanks again!
