Broadcom wireless driver can be installed from source package or you can install the pre-compiled version. In this post you can find information on how to install pre-compiled version using yum install. This package can be install the same way how we install Firefox 6 or UNRAR in Fedora 15 / 14. If you have already upgraded your rpmfusion free and non-free release in your system then skip the dependencies.
