Public bug reported:
On my Compaq v6310us, with:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
the installer (and the live dvd) chooses the "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA
wireless driver" which does not work.
The proper driver is "B43-fwcutter".
(The Fedora installer chooses the proper driver.)
