Network Manager shows error message above. I've checked the physical wireless switch and it's set to on.

What else should I do to get my wireless card working?
I'm on fully updated Fedora 14.

thanks


EDIT:
I believe this is resolved.
For anyone who has similar issues I've followed procedure on
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...devicefirmware
under Fedora section. Worked right away.

Thank you for posting the answer.

uninstall the b43-cutter.rpm and install kmod-wl.rpm

@PGB205: Thank a lot. I really appreciate it.
@Mickeyboa: I tried your method. But i was struck. This is what I got.

I tried installing Kernel-devel. Even tried to install the linux-headers. I'm using fedora. In debian lenny the method what you've mentioned worked. I mean, I followed broadcom's instructions. In fedora 14, it's not. Have any idea why?

Thank you.
