Rebuild with "rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec", remove old
module "rmmod wl", uninstall and reinstall new RPMS generated, reload
module "modprobe wl", and test it:
Now WiFi work
Hope this help
Many thanks

my laptop has
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
and it works great with the 3.6.x kernel in F18 out of the box, in earlier releases I had to use the kmod-wl driver.
Have you tried to remove all the wl stuff and see if it work without, if you have kmod-wl installed it will black list the kernel buildin BCM4313 drivers.
You can also try to boot an F18 Live cd to check if it works. in tree drivers is preferred over out of tree ones :)
