RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
