Can someone explain steps to set up wifi with broadcom chip...?
I downloaded "hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz"
[root@localhost alain]# mkdir /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl
[root@localhost alain]# cd /usr/local/src/hybrid-wl/
[root@localhost hybrid-wl]# tar xvzf /home/alain/Downloads/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz
[root@localhost hybrid-wl]# yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers

Reboot so you're using the kernel that matches your headers and devel packages.

Hello
I also have broadcom wireless, the easiest way to get it working is install the akmod-wl and broadcom-wl rpms (and as mentioned kernel-devel) from rpmfusion, https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree ... index.html
Once installed enable akmods serviceThen reboot, the boot process will take a couple of minutes longer than usual while the wireless module is built and installed.
should show that the wl module is installed.
I then disable akmods service to stop the module being built every boot.
When a new kernel is installed enable akmods service, reboot to new kernel and wl module is automatically rebuilt for new kernel.

[SOLVED]Re: BCM4352 Cannot compile driver...
So i solved my wifi problem in a very simple way and was curious if someone could tell me if there is something else to do or something i ahve missed... I read page after page of elrepo this and that, Broadcom how to, ndiswrapper, and nothing was working at all, dependency after dependency, wrong header, no key, permission denied, blah blah blah....
I literally put four packages in a folder called wifi under my home directory and executed I did a reboot and i have wifi!
WHY the fsck did this work and why is there no tutorial with literally a TWO STEP FIX.... Everything i read was so involved and complicated!!!
Please enlighten me so i can stay humble.
