G750's wireless issues

[Jesise]

Hi, everyone, I use fedora 20 all the time, but my new laptop g750jw which with BCM 4352(no driver recently) can not identify by fedora 20 and Ubuntu 13.10, it seems the only solution from Google is to use "ndiswrapper", since I can not access internet wired either(I am trying to get one), could anyone tell me is the "ndiswrapper" really work or not? Have anyone tried it?

Thanks a lot.

Fear not - there is a native solution.
Broadcom supplies user-buildable modules. Just head on to them and download, then Google for "Broadcom STA Fedora".

Steps:
* Add RPMFusion to our repositories
* Update
* yum nstall kernel-devel
* Download the broadcom package
* make API=CFG80211 && make install
* remake initrd
* block conflicting drivers
* reboot to setup
* turn off Secure Boot

IMHO, ASUS should:
* Use a WiFi/BTH combo (if combo at all!) with good Linux support
* Be quick to respond to our complaints 😄

GL m8!

Not being a Linux expert, I have a few questions:
How do you remake initrd?
How do you block conflicting driver?
I am glad you found the fix. To have Linux on such a great laptop would be awesome.
