Wifi Driver Broadcom BCM4322 Not Working With CentOS 7.2
Hi,
I’ve been using in the past the broadcom wifi card BCM4322 with CentOS 7.1
one in the past, with kernel 3.10.0-229.7.2.el7 and driver 6_30_223_248 and it worked well.
Now I updated CentOS to 7.2 and the driver is not compiling any more under kernel 3.10.0-327.3.1.el7. Neither driver 6_30_223_238 nor 6_30_223_271.
Does any body experienced the same issues?
Cheers, Roberto Nebot

The kmod package (kmod-wl-6_30_223_271-2.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm) is available from the nux-dextop repo. If you’d rather build it yourself, please see http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod for details.

Hi,
I just managed to get it work right now without elrepo.
At the end what you need to do is:
Download from Broadcom:
https://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz
Following the wiki steps for 7.1:
https://wiki.CentOS.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom Apply patch : wl-kmod-fix-ioctl-handling.patch (Already in wiki for 7.1)
Apply patch2: wl-kmod-rhel7_1.patch Apply the following:
sed -i ‘s/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 11, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/’
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c sed -i ‘s/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 15, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/’
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c sed -i ‘s/ < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 18, 0)/ < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 9, 0)/' src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c sed -i 's/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 0, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/’
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c
After that the compilation succeeds and you can follow the wiki for 7.2 as it is for 7.1
If someone can add it to the wiki of I can add it my self if someone give me rights.
