Hello,
Please explain the role played by the material in each of
the following three rpms found on rpmfusion:
1) broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.noarch.rpm
Common files for Broadcom 802.11 STA driver
This package contains the license, readme and configuration
files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a
linux device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-,
BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware.
2) kmod-wl-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm
wl kernel module(s) for 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64
This package provides the wl kernel modules built for the
Linux kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 for the x86_64 family
of processors.
3) kmod-wl-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm
Metapackage which tracks in wl kernel module for newest kernel
This is a meta-package without payload which sole purpose
is to require the wl kernel module(s) for the newest
kernel. to make sure you get it together with a new
kernel.
The reference URL provided for all three packages is the same,
viz., http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
(Note that the material on the reference URL is newer than any
of the three rpms; but what I am trying to understand in this
thread is the role played by the stuff in each of the 3 rpms.)
Thanks,
--Suresh
