Description Kyle Thompson 2012-02-20 16:15:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

I am a new red hat reseller and I have been using fedora on my laptops for 6 years.  I need to add different repos like rpmfusion to fix my broadcom wireless 43224, install extra software, etc.  Even though I have installed free and non free rpmfusion, I can't pull in software.  Does something need to be enabled?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Yum 3.2.29-22

How reproducible:

yum install broadcom-wl

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open terminal 
2. yum update
3. nothing from rpmfusion
  
Actual results:

no package broadcom-wl available

Expected results:

Completed!

Additional info:

Also tried to install from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php but when I installed it told me software was older than what was installed.  Really want to make this work and not go back to fedora.

How exactly did you enable the rpmfusion repositories?

Typically if you install the rpmfusion repository rpms the related repos are enabled automatically and you should be able to install software from rpmfusion.

Concerning updates on rpmfusion though those are obviously out of our control and you'd need to contact them directly if you required updated/newer version of packages from rpmfusion.

Thanks & regards, Phil
