I have Dell Inspiron 1525 with Broadcom BCM 4312 wi-fi card. And the The place I am staying right now, I can only use Wi-fi here. I have recently installed FEDORA 10 and I could not get my Wifi working.
Now I am working with Broadcom wl driver with my UBUNTU 8.10 and I tried to it for Fedora too. But I am going wrong somewhere, cant figure out where. And without the internet I cant proceed. Maybe because I m not familiar with rpm and yum. following are the packages I am trying to install- broadcom-wl-5.10.27.6-3.fc10.noarch.rpm kmod-wl-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm kmod-wl-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm from http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/as mentioned in a forum but I could not succeed, even maybe some dependencies are missing.
