Hi,
I installed F17 from scratch on a Dell with one of those proprietary wireless cards. I last installed Fedora ( would have been F14 or F15 on this machine) more than a year ago. At that time, I had to install broadcom-wl from rpmfusion (non-free) and wireless became accessible from what I recall. But no such luck with installing broadcom-wl on F17. Is there something additionally that has to be done beyond installing broadcom-wl to enable wireless. Network Manager does not even show the enable wireless button so I am thinking that something else has to be turned on.
(For the record, there is a switch for wireless: turning it either way has no effect.) I can provide the exact specs of the machine if needed.
Many thanks, Ranjan
