2. Compile the source code

Note: yum install broadcom-wl cannot be used, and Fedora 14 can.

Download driver package to the official, but that package can not be compiled, (here you can download the code I modified see the http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-10/44331.htm)

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC = 1 make-C/lib/modules/'uname-R'/build M = 'pwd'
Make [1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/2.6.38.2-9. fc15.x86 _ 64'
CC [M]/root/broadcom_bcm4313/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o
/Root/broadcom_bcm4313/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: In function 'wl _ attach ':
/Root/broadcom_bcm4313/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: 485: 3: error: implicit declaration of function 'init _ MUTEX '[-Werror = implicit-function-declaration]
C0: some warnings being treated as errors

Make [2]: *** [/root/broadcom_bcm4313/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1
Make [1]: *** [_ module _/root/broadcom_bcm4313] Error 2
Make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/2.6.38.2-9. fc15.x86 _ 64'

You need to add

# Define init_MUTEX (LOCKNAME) sema_init (LOCKNAME, 1 );

3. Copy the compiled wl. ko file

/Lib/module/xxxxx/extra/wl. ko

[Root @ Neil-PC wl] # pwd
/Lib/modules/2.6.38.2-9. fc15.x86 _ 64/extra/wl
[Root @ Neil-PC wl] # ll
Total 3964
-Rw-r -- 1 root 4058778 Apr 15 08:32 wl. ko

4. Insert Module

Detection and automatic insertion. If successful, the system will return directly without errors.

# Modproble wl

5. You can use reboot.
