Installing Wireless HotKey for HP 6450b

The button above the keyboard on my HP ProBook 6450b which enables and disables wireless was nonfunctional, with this error:

Sep 29 11:32:43 localhost kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
Sep 29 11:32:43 localhost kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.
Sep 29 11:32:43 localhost kernel: HP WMI: Unknown response received

Running lspci -nnk showed

44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1509]

Drivers are not installed.

Installation

• Set up rpmnfusion repositories
• yum -y install broadcom-wl

Now lspci -nnk shows:

44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1509]
        Kernel driver in use: wl
        Kernel modules: wl

And it works fine.
