Hi, My netbook Asus have this network Wireless controller:

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.
