Are you using the wl driver from RPMFusion or did you use b43-fwcutter?

If it's the former, respond with the output of:
rpm -q kmod-wl
rpm -q akmod-wl
dmesg | grep wl

If it's the latter, respond with the output of:
dmesg | grep b43

If you're not sure, go ahead and do all of the above plus:
lspci -vvnn
