To install the broadcom-wl rpm's from rpmfusion you need to know which kernel you are running.
from a terminal will tell you that. My machine reports:
2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE
Install the rpmfusion repository where drivers and programs that don't make it into the full Fedora distribution are made available.
In a terminal:
The space and the minus sign are important. Without them you do not get full root control of your machine.
Then use the command:
Code:
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
With the repositories safely installed, use the command:
Code:
yum install kmod-wl-PAE
if the first command found a PAE kernel, if you do not have a PAE kernel use the command:
Code:
yum install kmod-wl
It should offer to install three files:
kmod-wl-PAE-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.6.i686.rpm
kmod-wl-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.6.i686.rpm
broadcom-wl-5.10.91.9.3-1.fc12.noarch.rpm
Those three if you specified the PAE kernel, the i586 version otherwise.
If it doesn't offer you the correct files cancel the installation and we'll think again.
That should get broadcom-wl installed.
At that stage, NetworkManager in the notification area of the panel to the left of the clock "may" begin to identify wireless networks when you left click on it.
If not, then in the same terminal window as you used above run:
Code:
service NetworkManager restart
