Again this might change with newer version of OS or different version of OS.

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stabl
yum install kmod-ndiswrapper
mkdir ~/new_installation/ndiswrapper_driver
cd ~/new_installation/ndiswrapper_driver
wget http://www.jbg.f2s.com/bcm43.bz2
tar jxvf bcm43.bz2
cd bcmwl5\ driver
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf


Now reboot your machine and execute these commands.

modprobe ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -ma

Installation always used to hang on certain point on installer and could not figure out why. After googling, came to know that it needs network during installation but does not give any error.
