In addition to what Matt says, probably the best way to get it working
in F15 for now (pragmatically speaking) is to install the proprietary
'wl' driver from a third party repository (the standard one has it
packaged as kmod-wl / akmod-wl). That driver supports the chip in
question and works, per multiple reports.
