I have installed Fedora 10 (and previously 9) on my Dell Inspirot 1545. All seems to be working well, except for the wireless network connnection. It connects properly (albeit slowly, but that''s a check for another time) with the wired connection, but what is the point of a wired laptop.
I have found some tutorials at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205456.
I'm following the guides there to get my wireless working properly.

It turns out to be much simpler after all. There is a driver for Broadcom Wireless devices from Fedora now (for ver 8, 9 and 10).
