ThinkPad E530 Fedora 20 Wireless internet problem

It has been using Fedora home Linux. But it comes with a wireless card that drives like some problems, usually, sometimes connecting, sometimes you can't.

A home wireless router that is often not searchable.

Because the family has a network cable so has not cared. There's nothing left to toss. Finally, the wireless card driver is done.

First of all to determine the wireless network card model, LSPCI command can be. The output has the following line, for example.

03:00.0 network controller:broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev. 01)

First go to Broadcom official website to find the driver.

Follow the instructions on the site to start compiling. The results of various errors, really no language, too lazy to change the source, only to think of other methods. Perhaps the source of Fedora 20 already has a compiled package.
