what are my chances of getting wireless working on F8T1?

  the scenario:  a gateway MX8711 laptop, fresh install of F8T1, and
whose /var/log/dmesg reads:

...
bcm43xx-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
ssb: Switching to IEEE 802.11 core, index 1
bcm43xx-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2, Revision 8
bcm43xx-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2
bcm43xx-phy0 debug: Radio turned off
...

  so, to make a long question short, does anyone have a recipe for
getting wireless up and running on this system?  the first time i ran
system-config-network and tried to add a wireless interface, i was
presented with a choice of "Other Wireless Card" and that's it.

  and i've had precious little luck getting wireless to work on a
similar system under F7.  is there a set of instructions that's
reasonably precise, and doesn't contain an annoying number of
occurrences of the phrase "and if that doesn't work, try ..."?
