[SOLVED] Fedora 10 Wireless

**waterhead** · 08-15-2009

In the /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder you should have these files that deal with the RPM Fusion repositories.

rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo

You should get a list that includes these repositories.

There is one other thing to check. Make sure that the non-free repo is enabled.

You want the two highlighted in red to be "1", which means enabled.

When I run this command:

Code:

su -c 'yum install broadcom-wl'

This is what I get:

If you have the same repositories enabled, you should get the same thing.

Is this the output from your machine? It looks like it was successful, have you tried using the network tool to create a new wireless connection? Did you get an error?
Can you post the output of:

Code:

ifconfig

In your posts, can you try using the code tags instead of html tags, it's the icon that looks like a #
Thanks.

Did you reboot after installing the driver? The new wl module should load after a reboot. Post the output of this command.

Code:

lsmod

If the wl module is not present, try loading it manually.

Code:

sudo modprobe wl
