[SOLVED] kernel 2.6.x and Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (kmod-wl)

[Dario Lesca]

On this Asus EeePC seashell series Notebook:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_e9f34fbb-dd9d-4b7d-8c77-027292c81297

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:

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
