Hi.
I know this is a "centos" issue, but I've searched, can't find an answer, and thought the answer might be helpful to others. Feel free to flame away if I stepped on your toes!
I'm following the steps to build the driver/module as describe in the url
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
The step I'm confused on is the step 4)
4) Download the Broadcom driver matching your architecture (i.e., 32-bit vs 64-bit):
from: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php to: ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
The tar.gz file for the driver is listed on the page, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to place the entire tar.gz file in the "SOURCES" dir (doubtful) or if i'm supposed to untar it, which will then have the underlying dirs from the tar file in the SOURCES dir...
Or, if I'm supposed to follow the readme listed on the broadcom page, and build the wl.ko.
Once I get this resolved, the rest should work ok...
Thanks for any pointers/feedback.

This doesn't answer your question.... But, have you considered using the drivers supplied by rpmfusion for Broadcom devices?
i suggest untar it...

ok...
here's a basic solution for the issue I faced with the dell/broadcom wireless card/nic.
unning lspci -nn | grep AR8162 lspci -nn | grep RTL8188EE
or lspci -n grep '01:00.0' 01:00.0 0200: 1969:1090 (rev 10)
lspci -n grep '02:00.0' 02:00.0 0280: 10ec:8179 (rev 01)
unning lspci -nn | grep BCM4313 lspci -nn | grep AR8152
or lspci -n grep '03:00.0' 01:00.0 0200: 1969:1090 (rev 10)
lspci -n grep '04:00.0' 02:00.0 0280: 10ec:8179 (rev 01)
broadcom - BCM4313 14e4:4727
atheros - AR8152 :: eth 1969:2060 pci 1969:2060 kmod-atl1e atl1e.ko
------from google/search http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.14-1.el6.elr...
however, for the broadcom, it appears need to build from src..
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' yum install redhat-lsb <<< this didn't result in any file being downloaded yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
yum reinstall gcc --downloadonly --downloaddir=/dell
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' --downloadonly --downloaddir=/dell
for the groupinstall.. had to do a bunch of yum reinstall steps create tmp dir, with all the rpm files..
$mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SOURCES,SRPMS} $echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s -r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros
from: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php (external link) to: ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
wget http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/SRPMS/wl-kmod-6_30_223_141-2.el6.elrepo.n... -O
$ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=`uname -m` --define 'packager <your-name>' /<path-to-nosrc.rpm>/wl-kmod*nosrc.rpm ... Wrote: /home/<user>/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kmod-wl-<version>.x86_64.rpm ... + exit 0
(Note: The rpmbuild option --target=`uname -m` is only required for EL5 32-bit builds.)
# # ok - for the above build step, you need to make sure you copy the # tar file from the broadcom site for the 32/64 bit system # # the build process uses the complete tar file, so it doesn't have to be # extracted #
once you build the process, you get an actual rpm in the RPMS dir of the rpmbuild tree that you can use/install, to actually have the kmod-wl driver for the broadcom nic.
# modprobe -r b43 b43legacy ssb wl lib80211 # modprobe -r bcma (Note: needed for EL 6.4 and later) # modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip # modprobe wl
eth0 issue:: ok - to get the p5p1 to be seen as the eth0 did a system-config-network-tui from the term/cmdline selected the p5p1 and changed the name to eth0, added the rest of the required fields saved the data -this seemed to generate the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file -did a reboot and the system now shows via ifconfig -a eth0 instead of p5p1 as the eth device...
