New Kernel = No WiFi

[krism]

H guys,

I'm currently using Fedora 17 64 BIT on my laptop. My Broadcom BCM4313 wireless network card was working fine until I switched my laptop on this morning.

Since I last used it I'd updated my system, with the update came some kernel updates. I was sitting on Linux 3.4.5-2.fc17.x86_64. Obviously I didn't restart but after switching on my laptop this morning I booted into kernel Linux 3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_66.

Booting into the new kernel I realised that my wireless card hadn't been picked up and I couldn't find a way to enable it. Right now I've booted into the previous kernel although I'd really like my card to be working with the latest.

I was an Ubuntu user for 4 years and am relatively new to Fedora.

How can I go about solving this problem?

You could boot into the older kernel. If you have set up grub2 to have no delay on startup you should edit /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and either change

set default="0"

to the kernel you'd like to boot (probably you want to change "0" to "1" there).

Or you can change

set timeout=0

to 5 or so, so you can select a kernel from a list on startup.

It's probably a module that didn't get updated. I've never used the Broadcom card, but maybe it's this?
