Hi there recently I downloaded Fedora 15 and installed on my laptop but when it finished the installation my wifi card won"t work. I did the update with ethernet cable but still nothing. I tried to install some fedora repos and frivers given on its Internet site but it just won"t work. My wireless card manufactor is Broadcom 43xxx series. Hopefully you can help me :D

Perhaps you could start by posting the output of dmesg shortly after a reboot?

We do not support new broadcom chipsets yet. You can try staging drivers from rpmfusion.org .
