Wireless on Dell Inspiron 1525 Fedora

I just installed Fedora 11 on my laptop and can't get the wireless to work. Fedora found it and shows everything as it should be, except I can't activate it...

This is the output of the nice little bash script, and I really don't know what to do with it... If anyone could help me I'd be really happy, 'cause then I can stop using Vista

You'll need the broadcom wl driver.
Broadcom Linux STA Driver — Fedora Unity Project

You'll also need to blacklist the b43 driver, which will conflict.

Code:
su -
echo "blacklist b43" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistb43.conf

Thank you! I got it working now, had some problems after, but then I figured out that it couldn't decide for itself which network to use, so I had to help it... Thank you
