Wireless not working after update

I recently updated kernels but am having an odd problem with the wireless internet (not working). I tried to install kmod-wl but it gave me this

Code:
================================================================================
 Package    Arch    Version                  Repository                    Size
================================================================================
Installing:
 kmod-wl    i686    5.60.48.36-1.fc13.10     rpmfusion-nonfree-updates    8.9 k

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install       1 Package(s)

Total download size: 8.9 k
Installed size: 0  
Is this ok [y/N]:
how could the installed size be 0? Could this be why my wireless wont work?

Re: Wireless not working after update

If broadcom-wl had the wireless working before a kernel update and not afterwards, then I recommend taking a moment to study what is installed now.
Code:
rpm -qa | grep -e broadcom-wl -e kmod-wl -e kernel | sort
All of those package versions should make sense vis-a-vis the kernels, especially the currently running kernel...
Code:
uname -r

Re: Wireless not working after update

My broadcam-wl and everything was still installed. All I had to reinstall was kmod-wl and it began working again. Just click yes when it asks the yes or no question.
