Broadcom does not make firmware for their wireless cards available in a
freely redistributable form, so Fedora cannot distribute this firmware.
Thus, it cannot work out of the box.  You can generate a firmware file
using the b43-fwcutter utility, but this doesn't help much for the live
environment.  Feel free to request that Broadcom provide freely
redistributable firmware for their wireless products!
