Hi,

I just managed to get it work right now without elrepo.

At the end what you need to do is:

Download from Broadcom:
https://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

Following the wiki steps for 7.1:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom
Apply patch : wl-kmod-fix-ioctl-handling.patch (Already in wiki for 7.1)
Apply patch2: wl-kmod-rhel7_1.patch
Apply the following:
sed -i 's/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 11, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/'
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c
sed -i 's/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 15, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/'
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c
sed -i 's/ < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 18, 0)/ < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 9, 0)/'
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c
sed -i 's/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 0, 0)/ >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0)/'
src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c

After that the compilation succeeds and you can follow the wiki for 7.2 as
it is for 7.1
If someone can add it to the wiki of I can add it my self if someone give
me rights.

Cheers,
Roberto Nebot

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the
road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might
be swept off to.
