There is lots in this forum on how to use bcrmfwcutter, just remember f7 uses different firmware from f6

and using ndiswrapper is easier.

No it isn't, you still need the firmware and you have to upgrade ndiswrapper every time you upgrade the kernel.

Thank you brunson.... Seriously. I don't understand why users would want to upgrade ndiswrapper every kernel upgrade. If you're not upgrading your kernel.... then that's cool, but I feel it's not worth the hassle.

Actually, if you get ndiswrapper from Livna it takes care of the problem for you.

With the same provisos as Graphics card drivers of course. Make sure the updates you require are available before you upgrade any kernel.
