If i switch off the wireless, the message is "wireless is disabled" instead of previous "divice not ready (fireware missing)"

uname -r
2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686


Anyone k help me ???

thx a looooooooooooooooot!!!!

The BCM4312 chipset is known to work with broadcom-wl. And those are the correct three files for your kernel. The problem is caused by trying to install them one-at-a-time. They are all dependent upon each other. So put them all together in one directory, open a terminal, change directories in the terminal to the directory with the three files, and install them all at once this way...su
rpm -ivh *.rpmThen reboot and check the NetworkManager panel icon for available networks (left-click it) and connect. If it's still not working, then return here to describe what happened. There are some things known to try when it doesn't work at first.

but i got message during installation like this

warning: broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID f09d8368: NOKEY

it seems that installation for first 2 was not complete, only 33% 67% ??????

anyway, I can use my wireless now . thx!

You have one thing more to do. It's to install the RPM Fusion repos before you attempt to update the system. Otherwise, the new kernel will not have its wireless packages. You can install the rpmfusion-free and rpmfusion-nonfree repos via your Firefox browser or manually in a terminal. Go here to install the RPM Fusion repos...http://rpmfusion.org/ConfigurationAnother idea (just to consider) now that you are connected, is to install the akmod-wl version of the driver. It will create new kmods for new kernels automatically. Some people like that. Some people don't. Either way, it's good know about the choices.

P.S.: The reason I don't mention installing akmod-wl manually like you did for the kmod-wl version is because it's more complicated due to many more dependencies. I guess it can be done, but I don't really know how to describe it in words for someone to do it. It's simpler to install the kmod-wl version as you now know, and then install the akmod-wl version (if it is wanted).
