Fedora 13 does have support for Broadcom wireless drivers On Dell laptop, but it didn’t really work out on a friend’s laptop. Finally we got it working and I thought I’ll just note the steps down. Below are the three easy steps you need to take to make it work properly.
- Install the RPM Fusion repos…
- Install the akmod version of the 64-bit driver…
su
yum install akmod-wl - Reboot or restart NetworkManager and check the panel applet icon for available networks.
