Changelog
by Nicolas Viéville (2026-07-28):
- Add patch for kernel >= 7.2 - Add last kernel version release for RHEL 9.x and 10.x and adapt manual patching in SPEC file for last RHEL 10.x kernel - Remove objtool checking for RHEL >= 10.x to allow building wl module - Important warning for RHEL 10.X: completely removed objtool checking to allow building wl module for RHEL >= 10.x. This results in not detecting potential illegal call or jump in the binary object file provided by Broadcom in the sources tree of this wl module in 2014 - Use it at your own risk. |
