Yum install redhat-lsb. This will install a bunch of stuff to make it
Linux Standard Base compatible.

Trying to install something from another distro's always problematical,
given variances in numbering and dependencies. The "missing module
license" implies there's something not d/l, and if you'd been in a
debian/ubuntu system, and used apt-get, you'd have gotten it.
I did some googling, and found
<http://ktaraghi.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4311-bcm4312.html>.
Personally, since it's a system driver, I'd sudo -s, mkdir /usr/local/src,
and do the work in there. Other than than, and it's from this year, you
might have better results.
