My Laptop is Compaq Presario V3424TU, and I installed Fedora 14 on it. I have to use wireless in my campus. I am not able to enable the wireless networking function. I also tried to install broadcom wireless driver, but still not working.

I am not sure that which version is compatible to my wireless card. Please any one help regarding this.
