[Fedora 16] Broadcom Wireless Install (HP Pavilion DV5T-1000 CTO)

Fedora 16 on HP Pavilion DV5T-1000 CTO Wireless firmware issue:

A few things are required before installing the drivers. Plug into an ethernet port and open terminal. (Best bet is to right click copy the lines after the $ and right click paste into terminal then hit enter)

You will need rpmfusion free release

$ su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

and also rpmfusion non free release

$ su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

Once you have upgraded the rpmfusion free and non-free release in your system then update the system using the following command. Type the password for the user when prompted.

$ sudo yum update

To install Broadcom Wireless driver

To install the driver run the following command in terminal.

$ sudo yum install kmod-wl

Now restart your system. It should work.
