Is the device firmware installed in /lib/firmware?

Hi, My netbook Asus have this network Wireless controller:

> 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

and not work out of the box or with rpmfusion's wl driver.

For now I have found this howto:

the wl driver work fine.

My question is: There is an official Fedora driver (embedded, akmod or
kmod) for this (bcp43142) wireless network card?

Thanks.
