Re: Configuring/setup of WiFi card on Dell E6220 Laptop

Broadcom is a waste of time, if it's in a slot that you can access and replace the card an Intel 5100 is a good choice. Or commit a USB port to a mini adapter that is supported

yup, same here.. I have a real old Dell XPS laptop with a similar Broadcom card.. never got it to work. what you need is the IPW2200 driver..
you might try uninstalling NetworkManager & installing wicd.

I've just installed F22 on a Dell E6220 laptop (in anticipations of next week's F23 rollout).

A few issues left to squre

I'm trying to setup WiFi (the Ethernet device works correctly, btw).

There is an external switch controlling power to the card, and an indicator light. Those show that the item is "on."

lspci -v for the WiFi card reports the following:

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
