Installing Broadcom 43xx Wireless Drivers after Kernel Update in fedora

Broadcom Logo

After a kernel update in Toshiba Satellite laptops which are running on fedora may lose the wireless network capability which is based on Broadcom chips. Even drivers are available from RPMFusion repo, it will take couple of days to update drivers with newly released kernel. Best option is compling the driver as following steps which gives wireless capability instantly.

Step 1:
Run 'lspci | grep -i broadcom' in terminal to make sure wireless hardware is there.
[kasun@katalyst ~]$ lspci | grep -i broadcom
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[kasun@katalyst ~]$
