Description of problem:
Installing F26 alpha on my 2011 Macbook Pro with Broadcom BCM4331 wifi. I am following the procedure to install the package from RPMFUSION which I have proven to work on F25. However the procedure does not complete correctly on F26.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clean install F26 64 Bit on 2011 Macbook Pro with wired Ethernet connected.

2. Boot to desktop and update with:
sudo dnf update

3. Add RPMFUSION repo with:
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

4. Install Broadcom driver with:
sudo dnf install akmod-wl kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

5. Build the module with:
sudo akmods --force
Checking kmods exist for 4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.x86_64   [  OK  ]
Building and installing wl-kmod                            [FAILED]
Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/wl/6.30.223.271-9-for-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.x86_64.failed.log for details

Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

6. Rebooting does not help.

Actual results:
Unable to enable on-board Broadcom BCM4331 wifi adapter.

Expected results:
successfully enable on-board Broadcom BCM4331 wifi adapter.

Additional info:
Please see attached logs from /var/cache/akmods/wl/6.30.223.271-9-for-4.11.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc26.x86_64.failed.log

There are a lot of the following errors in this file:
    user mockbuild does not exist - using root
    group mockbuild does not exist - using root

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2017-04-06 09:38:20 UTC
Please forward to the broadcom-wl maintainer at bugzilla.rpmfusion.org

Closing as this is not an issue for akmods.
