Hi. I'm a newbie to Linux. I just installed Fedora yesterday, and I haven't figured out how to get my wireless adapter to work. I have a HP Pavilion DV2020US laptop, and it came with Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g integrated wireless adapter. Can you guys, please, help me out here? Thanks in advance! :)
By the way, is there any way to search within this forum???

Hello bu1010
There is a menu "search" on the second bar down under the main heading "Fedora Forum".
As to the Broadcom card, you will probably need to know which you have.
Issuing the command:
lspci
at the command line interface as root should identify that for you. The most popular chipsets are the 4318 and the 4306.
Searching for those numbers, or the word Broadcom should find you more answers than you can imagine.
I've done my 4318 previously, and for one reason or another I'm about to do it again today. Post back if you have any problems and we'll compare notes.
