Ace Aspire One And New Broadcom Drivers

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi,

There is possibly an small problem - what relates to the kmod - akmod
naming difference. I could help you, but tell me the results of
'ifconfig', 'rfkill' (you have install that, and need an list param),
and 'lsmod', 'rpm -qa | grep wl' . Pack that into an txt, and send it
over me. If I have right, then we have to report an dependency
problem.

Thanks,

Zoltan
