Install the Broadcom driver on Fedora

FedoraLinux is a frequently-used system. Different Versions of FedoraOS have different hardware support. Today, from Fedora12 to Fedora13, we found that the method for installing the Broadcom driver with Fedora12 is no longer applicable in Fedora13. Fedora12 is easier to install the Broadcom driver. Choose System> Administration> Add/RemoveSof.

Fedora Linux is a frequently-used system. Different Versions of Fedora OS have different hardware support. Today, from Fedora 12 to Fedora 13, we found that the method for installing the Broadcom driver with Fedora 12 is no longer applicable in Fedora 13.

Fedora 12 is more convenient to install the Broadcom driver. In System → Administration → Add/Remove Software, find the relevant installation package with the keyword "bcm" and install it. However, in Fedora 13, after installation, the system still cannot find the wireless network.

In Fedora 13, I used the following command for installation:

[Root @ fedora ~] $ Yum install broadcom-wl-kmod

Then restart the computer and find that the driver is successfully installed. The system can properly find and connect to the wireless network.
