Before these rpm's were published, the only way I got the card working was by following the solution provided at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-283824.html I must say, as a user without much linux knowledge, I find it way more convenient to install the driver by rpm as by manual installation. I ran into 1 problem: After installing the driver the wireless couldn't connect to my network and /var/log/messages was full with "ERROR @wl_cfg80211_scan : WLC_SCAN error (-22)" errors. Nicolas sent me in the right direction for a solution by pointing me to this url: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1216302#p1216302 The steps I follow to get things working are: 1. hit fn+f2 2. Notice the bluetooth icon pops up in the system tray. 3. 'rfkill list' showed me the wireless was soft-blocked, but the bluetooth wasn't. Unblock the wireless by 'rfkill unblock <devid>' The wireless is working again!
