Hi, My netbook Asus have this network Wireless controller:

> 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
> 	Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2107
> 	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3
> 	Memory at f7d00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
> 	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3

and not work out of the box or with rpmfusion's wl driver.

For now I have found this howto:

and with this procedure:

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.
