Well, on my netbook, which uses the Broadcom 4353 wireless, this was
achieved by installing 'broadcom-wl' from rpmfusion-nonfree. The
'broadcom-wl' package gets 'kmod-wl' as a dependency, which in turn gets
the proper version for your kernel. Installing 'akmod-wl' makes sure
that the wireless works with new kernels that don't yet have a matching
'kmod-wl' package.
