After reading:

- http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Akmods
- http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods1
- http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2

I've modified the "buildforkernels" macros section of the spec file to:

#define buildforkernels newest
%define buildforkernels current
#define buildforkernels akmods

To be sure the new akmod package will be build for the current kernel. Once the
akmod package built, if I correctly understood the documentation, I have to
revert it to:

%define buildforkernels newest
#define buildforkernels current
#define buildforkernels akmods

This have to be kept until the next new upstream release of the wl-kmod needs
an akmod package to be built.

Thanks for commenting this if I've misunderstood the documentation. I'll ask to
the list too.

New spec file and srpms file provided:

SPEC: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25699833/rpmfusion/wl-kmod/wl-kmod.spec
SRPMS:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25699833/rpmfusion/wl-kmod/wl-kmod-5.100.82.38-1.fc15.src.rpm

rpmlint as usual. I can provide rpmlint outputs if needed.
