Wireless / Wifi not working inThinkpad Edge E430 Fedora 17

Hello all,

I'm not able to use Wifi in my Thinkpad Edge running in Fedora 17 ( 64 bit ). Can anyone help me to properly install wireless ? I'm including some of the output which may help in solving the same.


$lsmod | grep bcma

$modprobe wl

I also noticed some strange yum behavior like yum has been running for while trying to do something with wireless.

$ps aux | grep yum

I hope someone to helping me ASAP :) .
