Success with Broadcom installation

[Erik <erik@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wanted to report success, following this procedure:

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom

At the bottom, I see something of a compatibility matrix, but a line representing my specific setup does not exists.  So I offer the following data to show that it works in my environment.

[erik@localhost ~]$ uname -r
3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
[erik@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
[erik@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release

[erik@localhost ~]$ lspci -nvv

[erik@localhost ~]$

I also wanted to point out, the command provided to extract the TGZ file downloaded from the Broadcom site is incorrect.  Should be:

tar xvzf /path/to/the/tarball/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

The "f" flag should be the last flag in the list.  Got an error when entered as provided.

Thanks!
