        Then add RPMFusion repo:

        
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

        Install akmod-wl (works with every kernel):

        
yum install akmod-wl

        Build modules:

        
/etc/init.d/akmods restart

        Modprobe wl module:

        
modprobe wl
