But note, this driver is not compatible with ndiswrapper so you should do one or the other, but don't confuse the two. IMO this driver is better (and easier) than ndiswrapper. http://www.cenolan.com/2008/11/rpm-install-broadcom-wireless-sta-driver-fedora/ G-man see the following post for easier instructions.

Those are `backticks` not 'single-quotes' around the `pwd`. The full command (as per the instrucations) should just be make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` Note: they are all backticks not single quotes!

Just ensure that "Controlled by NetworkManager" is selected, and "Activate device when computer starts" is selected. Then make sure you have NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome installed, then reboot and you should find that the network manager applet appears in the taskbar and you should be able to connect using that.

Now when I go to System--> Administration--> Network--> Under network Configuration I only saw my Ethernet. So I clicked on New and the name of my wifi card was there now to select~!! got pretty excited. Completed the process and then selected it and click on Activate. That is when I got "Error for wireless request"Set Encode"(8B2A): SET failed on device eth1; invalid argument. Please help :/ I really want to get this thing working.

But for future reference you should NEVER build software when logged in as route - you cannot trust that a Makefile or source won't contain code that would delete your entire operating system! If you're not root, it is safe. Only ever "become root" when you absolutely need to. No, it shouldn't.

Only had the header so I installed that and it seems to have work I'm in the process of blacklisting atm. One thing though since I logged as root on a console and not using the su command would this affect the result anyhow? I hope not.

However that was not the issue. I log on as root on a terminal and made sure that the directory exists which it does. However like I said I'm a noob around linux still; the build directory is on red, which I have no idea if its good or not. To make sure I got the command right this time I even copied and pasted it from your post and still gave me the same error. I appreciate any other ideas or comments.
