After kernel update to 3.6.[12] (plus relative kmod-wl* module) the WiFi stop work
I have found this article: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1176829
then I have install the akmod driver and I have apply to .spec file this patch:
[root@ludvic ~]# diff -Naur rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec.orig rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec --- rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec.orig 2012-10-22 22:57:55.284478328 +0200 +++ rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec 2012-10-22 22:32:17.134583423 +0200 @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ %build for kernel_version in %{?kernel_versions}; do pushd _kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*}
- make -C ${kernel_version##*___} M=`pwd` modules
- make -C ${kernel_version##*___} M=`pwd` modules API=WEXT popd
done
Rebuild with "rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec", remove old module "rmmod wl", uninstall and reinstall new RPMS generated, reload module "modprobe wl", and test it:
Now WiFi work
Hope this help
Many thanks

Sorry, kernel is 3.6.x and not 2.6.x as erroneously reported in the subject
