This Works for both fedora 17 and 18. It may also work for earlier versions.
When I installed my first Linux OS, i.e. Kubuntu 11.10, I found that my wifi didn’t work. I could not find a solution. Now after installing Fedora 17, I figured how it is done. I got help from a fedora forum and most of the information here is from that forum.First We need to figure out the chipset of the wireless device

How to install b43, b43legacy, version 3 or version 4 drivers
- Install b43-fwcutter. This is the software package that does the
extraction of the firmware from the proprietary driver. I was able to
solve my friend’s problem with this step only.

suyum install b43-fwcutter - I further googled to see for other versions of the b43 driver and found the following in a fedora forum.
- Do this step only if you need to install version 4 firmware for the b43 driver module. Copy and execute the following command lines one after the other in a Fedora terminal.

tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driversub43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o - Do this step only if you need to install version 3 firmware for the b43legacy module.

This is the driver problem I personally faced. I followed the following steps- First we need to add the RPM Fusion repositories.
For this we can directly go to the webiste RPM FUSION REPOSITORY
Or you can also type the following commands in the terminal - Once you have upgraded the rpmfusion free and non-free release in
your system then update the system using the following command.

sudo yum update - Once you have updated, you can install the broadcom-wl driver using the command
1
sudo yum install kmod-wl - Now reboot the system.
