Hello Gurus,
                    This is my first post in this mailing list. Need your
help with installing a driver for my Broadcom Wireless Adapter.


ENVIRONMENT:  Broadcom Wireless adapter on my Dell INSPIRON N5010 with EL6.

[root at HOMERHEL hybrid-wl]# lsb_release -rdc
Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
Release: 6.5
Codename: Santiago

[root at HOMERHEL hybrid-wl]# lspci | grep -i wireless
12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless
Network Adapter (rev 01)

I followed the steps as mentioned in http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod but in
the final step of installing the wl-kmod package that I downloaded for EL6
from the link provided in the wiki it failed with

# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm
Cannot add package wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el6.elrepo.nosrc.rpm to
transaction. Not a compatible architecture: src
Nothing to do

Kindly help.

*Thanks and Regards*
