[fedora-india] Re: Fedora-india Digest, Vol 23, Issue 1

[abhishek sharma]

  I have Dell Inspiron 1525 with Broadcom BCM 4312 wi-fi card. And the The
place I am staying right now,  I can only use Wi-fi here. I have recently
installed FEDORA 10 and I could not get my Wifi working.

   Now I am working with Broadcom wl driver with my UBUNTU 8.10 and I tried
to it for Fedora too. But I am going wrong somewhere, cant figure out where.
And without the internet I cant proceed.

   Maybe because I m not familiar with rpm and yum.

  following are the packages I am trying to install-

broadcom-wl-5.10.27.6-3.fc10.noarch.rpm
kmod-wl-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm
kmod-wl-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm

from
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/as
mentioned in a forum but I could not succeed, even maybe some
dependencies are missing.
