[elrepo] wl-kmod error at installing

[Diego Farias]

Thanks a lot Steve:

1) I'll try to create that EL7 virtual machine; but if I 'fix' the problem
there, what can we say about the 'big' problem? (in this EL7)

2) I'll try to contact en 'expert' in my university and see if he can help
me; I visited him when I got this problem and he said that 'wireless and
touchpad' are always a 'pain' in Linux.

3) I know is cheap, but this pc has ~ 1 year only; I had Ubuntu first and
recently I changed to centOS because of my professor's recommendation. On
Ubuntu I had 'kind of the same problem' with the Broadcom card, but I was
able to fix it (sudo modprobe -r a lot of things.. and modprobe wl).
