Thanks to your indications, wl-kmod packages (akmod-wl included) were
successfully build on target fedora-development-rpmfusion_nonfree for
kernel 3.2.0-2.fc17 (see buildsys.rpmfusion.org logs). As I don't have
rawhide installed on my own machine (working PC), I cannot test this new
package. Perhaps one could!

Do you thing that kernel 3.2 will reach F-16? If so a rebuild of the
wl-kmod with kernel >= 3.2 patch will be necessary.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Cordially,
