If you want support please use the elrepo mailing lists or if it's a bug then file an issue at the bug tracker with sufficient evidence to allow us to fix it.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />That said, as the title of the posting suggests, compat-wireless is a one size fits all solution and is not compatible with other wireless drivers offered by elrepo or indeed those native to the RHEL kernel. I'm happy to explain in more detail why this is the case on the elrepo mailing lists.Phil Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932302540722749200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381128824787539046.post-15046730571173610042012-05-01T13:14:35.905-07:002012-05-01T13:14:35.905-07:00Incompatible with broadcom-wl from elrepo or with ...Incompatible with broadcom-wl from elrepo or with a compiled version of wl.ko due to symbol conflicts with lib80211 / lib80211_crypt_tkip. Makes sense if kmod-compat-wireless is trying to load something.
