Hello,
I noticed that with latest kernel (2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64), my laptop's Wifi doesn't work, whereas with previous kernel (2.6.32-504.30.3.el6.centos.plus.x86_64), it works fine.
Is this a known issue or did I miss something new?
BTW, `lspci` says: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Regards,

On your previous kernel, I believe you built/installed kmod-wl by following this ELRepo article:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
I suggest you do the same with the latest version of the wl driver. As noted in that article, the kmod-wl binary packages built from the same SRPM for the latest EL point releases are now available from the nux-dextop repo.

Sorry for my (very) late reply, but for the sake of the archives I can confirm, rebuilding the kmod-wl RPM did the trick for a recent kernel update (ABI probably broken because of it). The mentioned URL still presents up-to-date information and is valid in order to address this issue.
