Hello All,
I am new to Linux.
I just starting using the OS CentOS 7 as i am preparing for Red Hat certifications.
Everything is working fine except for the wireless part.
I have a Broadcom Wireless Chipset "0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)" on my dell Laptop
I have been following the instructions on the ELREPO website located http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod
Everything went fine, until step 7 :
when i ran the first command :
1: rpm -Uvh /path-to-rpm/kmod-wl*rpm
i got the following output
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh /home/Brijesh/Downloads/kmod-wl*rpm
error: File not found by glob: /home/Brijesh/Downloads/kmod-wl*rpm
When i ran the second command
2: yum --nogpgcheck localinstall /home/Brijesh/Downloads/wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm
i got the following output
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Examining /home/Brijesh/Downloads/wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm: wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el7.elrepo.src
Cannot add package /home/Brijesh/Downloads/wl-kmod-6_30_223_271-3.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: src
Nothing to do
For your reference, these are some information about the system
Kernel Details
3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 x86_64
OS Details
Description: CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
Release: 7.4.1708
Codename: Core
I am kind of a noob to all this.
I am at my wits end trying to resolve this.
Any input will be greatly helpful

Re: Installing broadcom Drivers Via ELRepo
In step 7, you should be installing the rpm that got created in step 5, not the rpm you downloaded in step 3.

Thank you, avij for your kind response.
As directed, i installed the suggested rpm.
The issue is resolved. I am able to see the wireless interface in wifi GUI.
There is a new problem now. The wifi networks are not getting listed.
Thank You.
