Hi all, A year or two ago, I installed CentOS 7.0 (or 7.1) on an old MacBook Pro, and compiled the Broadcom drivers as documented here: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom After not using it for a while, I recently resurrected it, and updated to 7.4. Unfortunately that page has not been updated in a while, so only documents compiling for 7.3. When I try the patch, it fails on one of the hunks (I don't have the exact error, I can grab it later if important). Has anyone had success with this on CentOS 7.4, either with this compile, or the one documented by ELRepo (which I haven't tried yet)? https://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

I did need to rebuild the rpm after updating the kernel version from the previous one to the current one, but from the page above it sounds like that's reasonably expected. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
