I have Dell Inspiron 1525 with Broadcom BCM 4312 wi-fi card. And the The
place I am staying right now,  I can only use Wi-fi here. I have recently
installed FEDORA 10 and I could not get my Wifi working.

   Now I am working with Broadcom wl driver with my UBUNTU 8.10 and I tried
to it for Fedora too. But I am going wrong somewhere, cant figure out where.
And without the internet I cant proceed.

   Maybe because I m not familiar with rpm and yum.

  following are the packages I am trying to install-

broadcom-wl-5.10.27.6-3.fc10.noarch.rpm
kmod-wl-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm
kmod-wl-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-5.10.27.6-5.fc10.5.i686.rpm

from
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/as
mentioned in a forum but I could not succeed, even maybe some
dependencies are missing.

What do I do when I cant use Yum?. I mean I can get connected to the
internet only thru Wi-Fi here.
So  my only choice is to get the packages in a flash drive and install them.
I remember using deb only my ubuntu.

Dont know how to do the same thing in Fedora

I was hoping if someone could help me with that.

hi,

To install you can use "rpm"

"man rpm" should give you all the info you need.

If you can specify what you're trying to install, we could maybe give
you a better answer.

Perhaps you are looking for yum localinstall (please see man page for
yum for more details) but we'd need some details about the packages
you'd like to install before going further.
