Hi,

I have tried to get wifi going on a Dell Latitude E5400 with the
Broadcom 4312 chipset.

I did the following:

Installed broadcom-wl from rpmfusion non-free. (This installed
broadcom-wl and the dependency kmod-wl.)

Rebooted, but "nothing" happened. So, following this page

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=239922

I tried:

lsmod | sort 

as well as lsmod | grep wl

Not loaded.

So, I went further and tried the following (to see if I could manually
load the module):

sudo modprobe wl
FATAL: Module wl not found.

Any suggestions? Help?

Many thanks again!
Ranjan
