one more time -- broadcom wireless on f7

[Robert P. J. Day]

  at the risk of belabouring this issue (and i'm sure it's way too
late to be worried about that *now* :-), i'm still interested in
whether there's a known, reliable and deterministic way to get
wireless working on f7 (and, additionally, f8t1) on my laptop which
has a broadcom 4318 chip.

  having perused numerous web pages on the subject, i am now convinced
that:

1) it can be done and it's easy
2) it can be done and it's messy
3) it can't be done and i need ndiswrapper

  the perfect example of self-contradictory documentation can be found
here:

http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t3014.html

where the original poster is confident he has a solution, while a
subsequent poster claims that he needed to do a bunch of additional
work.  argh.

  so, is there, somewhere, a set of instructions that actually
represents a solution, and which doesn't contain the phrase "and if
that doesn't work, try ..." somewhere in the middle?

  seriously, if wireless is really this much of a hassle, fedora is in
for a rough ride.
