I'm not overly familiar with broadcom wireless (always tried to avoid
it), but we can probably package wl.ko as a kABI-tracking kmod for el5
over at ELRepo.org if you're interested? This would remove the need to
recompile the driver from source for every kernel update, not to mention
provide a user friendly RPM package for yum.
Also, does this driver require firmware, and if so where does one obtain
that?
