Is this HOWTO still valid for Fedora 16?

Seems to be. I did an upgrade using preupgrade on my netbook, and wireless (Acer Aspire One 722 using Broadcom 4313) is working flawlessly using kmod-wl-5.100.82.112-1.fc16.x86_64.

I also have akmod-wl-5.100.82.112-1.fc16.x86_64 installed to handle when kernel updates happen.

This guide helped me to set up my wifi. Althought i am not sure if its going to work but at least it says (disconected) instead of (firmware missing), in the NetworkManager
I use fedora16 and its my first time experience with Linux. So far i have found all the answers to my problems on these forums. Thanks again! So far i am very satisfied with this OS

Just want to say as a new Fedora user it was nice to find this guide. Thanks for the detailed steps, worked like a charm on my Dell Inspiron 130.
