Where to obtain Broadcom DW1530 wireless-n wlan half-mini driver?

Question

I am running Fedora 15 x86_64 on Dell Latitude E5420 which is using Broadcom DW1530 wlan card, have been looking around the web but couldn't find a driver, anyone can help?

Answer 1

According to this Ubuntu page, that model comes with Ubuntu pre-installed and using the BCM4313 card which uses the broadcom-wl driver which you can download from here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Given the variabilities of componentry installed in machines, you might want to establish the PCI-ID of the card to make sure that you are looking for the correct driver: $ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 should return the ID you need to correctly identify the driver(s) that works with your card.

This page (only available in cache) suggests that the driver is BCM43228, which means that you would still be able to use broadcom-wl.
