http://forums.fedoraforum.org – My F11 x86_64 machine has regularly been crashing at boot up. I removed broadcom-wl and installed ndiswrapper, now the crashes seem to have gone. I wonder if anyone else has noticed issues, I have this Broadcom wireless model: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) (HowTos)

Hi, I just moved to Fedora 11 but can't figure out how to get my wireless working. I have the broadcom driver installed and the Network Manager Applet shows the available wireless networks, but when I click on them they just don't connect. Any ideas??

I get the following output on lspci regarding the wireless adapter:

My laptop (Dell Inspiron 17R 5720) came with preinstalled Ubuntu 11.10. I removed it and installed 12.04. Now I can't find driver for wireless. Apparently, in 11.10 there was Broadcom-STA driver. But in 12.04 there is no additional drivers to install. I tried using:

sudo m-a a-i broadcom-sta

But building fails on 26%.

I just installed a Broadcom card in a Dell C610 running F17. Installed the two kmod-wl packages from rpmfusion, and whatever they dragged in with themselves.
