set -x
dtmp=$(mktemp -d)
# wget -c

rpm -q dpkg || yum install dpkg
dpkg-deb -x wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb $dtmp
cd $dtmp/usr/src/wireless-bcm43142-6.20.55.19/
make API=WEXT
mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl
rm -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl/wl.ko
cp ./wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/wl/.
depmod -a
modprobe -r wl
sleep 2
ip a
modprobe wl
sleep 2
ip a
cd
rm -rf $dtmp
the wl driver work fine.
My question is: There is an official Fedora driver (embedded, akmod or
kmod) for this (bcp43142) wireless network card?
Thanks.
