What to install to get a BCM4312 up and running on F12

[Randy Yates]

I'm trying to help someone get their netbook wireless up. Is there 
a package(s) that would accomplish this? Also, is there a how to
on this somewhere that's up-to-date for F12?

Ahhh yes... I think I might understand the IRC ban now...

Is this not the same question you asked about 7 hours ago?

Well, on my netbook, which uses the Broadcom 4353 wireless, this was
achieved by installing 'broadcom-wl' from rpmfusion-nonfree. The
'broadcom-wl' package gets 'kmod-wl' as a dependency, which in turn gets
the proper version for your kernel. Installing 'akmod-wl' makes sure
that the wireless works with new kernels that don't yet have a matching
'kmod-wl' package.

Have you tried it? Some broadcom chips are supported out of the box on F12.

Some 4312 chipsets are supported by the kernel driver b43, even if they
still require a firmware.
What returns the following command?
    # grep b43 /var/log/messages
