I have Dell Inpiron N5010 with Broadcom Corporation BCM4313
802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller.
My OS is Fedora 16 64-bit. I have installed the following drivers for
my wireless controller, everything is working great until yesterday.
Now whenever i try to connect to wirless connection, it failed.
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/broadcom-wl.html
I haven't installed anything that can cause this problem.
Following are log messages from /var/log/messages when i try to
connect to connection. I have double checked connection settings and
everything is correct.

What kernel are you using?
The latest kernel (kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64) seems to have broken the wireless
on my HP laptop. Wireless capability works with the prior version
(kernel-3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64).

I also note the OP is using the wl.o driver, which is known not to be
terribly reliable with wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager, while mac80211
drivers work much better. I'd suggest looking into b43 or the new
softmac driver from Broadcom if you can. Beyond that, we'd need
wpa_supplicant debug logs showing the actual issue, which can be
obtained by following these directions:
