Hi,
I have installed Fedora 17 along with the Broadcom drivers and everything worked fine. After installing the PAE kernel the wireless driver stopped working (after installing the kmod-PAE), so I removed the newly installed PAE kernel but now the driver is present but the system cannot scan for networks.
Here are some information about my configuration:
Any thoughts on this.
Regards.

It worked after I deleted bcma from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and reinstalling kmod-wl and kmod-wl-pae
