It is a problem with Broadcom. > When I get the firmware from the web site I get ucode5.fw, ucode13.fw, > ucode11.fw but no ucode15.fw (and other stuff with number 5, and 13) I have revised the wiki.

The Fedora people do not have the right to distribute Broadcom firmware, which is why it is not on the live CD. What you need to do is run the procedure from the wiki and then copy the files in /lib/firmware/b43/ to some removable device. After you boot the CD, then copy those files to the firmware directory in the ramfs. Once that is done, unload and reload (with modprobe) the b43 driver. You will now be able to access the network. If you install from the CD, you will need to copy those files to the hard drive.
