Sometime ago I thought I needed kmod-wl to support a new wireless card. Turns out I didn't need to do that. Now I'd like to remove kmod entirely. But when I try I get this:
[root@ws1 etc]# dnf remove kmod
Error:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd-udev
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
I am sure I don't want to remove systemd-udev, so I am a loss.
I did disable akmods:
systemctl disable akmods
But I still see that kmod-wl is built each time the kernal is updated.
Any suggestions where I can find out how to remove kmod.
Note that searching the internet only brings me info on removing kmod-nvidia, and mostly on ubuntu, and they are no help because mostly what they discuss is how get back to neuveau.
Even docs I've found that discuss how to install kmod on CentOS say nothing about removal.

Try:
dnf remove kmod-wl
which should do it for you.
the 'kmod' package is the package that provides the underlying kmod architecture. The kmod package providing the individual driver is (probably) called kmod-wl.
Hope that helps.

I tried that before:
[root@ws1 etc]# dnf remove kmod-wl
No match for argument: kmod-wl
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
Seem there is no such package. I believe because it get built newly each time a new kernel is installed.
