I need help with connecting to my network in fedora 17. My Laptop is lenovo G580 and it has Broadcom 4313 wireless driver. The network shows up sometimes but doesn't allow me to connect. I've tried installing the following at once from my usb...
> broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-2.fc17.1.noarch.rpm
> kmod-wl-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64-5.100.82.112-2.fc17.11.x86_64.rpm
> kmod-wl-5.100.82.112-2.fc17.11.x86_64.rpm
using the command
That was unsuccessful but it allowed me to temporarily connect to the internet. Since then i'm still unable to connect. Any help is greatly appreciated, keep in mind i'm a linux noob still. :Y
