Hello,
I need to install that driver, as wired connection isn't really possible in my case. I've managed to get rpms (of driver plus couple dependencies) with yum, I've copied that to dom0, and:
kmod-wl-6.30.223.141-1.fc18.10.x86_64 needs kmod-wl-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64.30.223.141-1.fc18.10.x86_64 (got both)
kmod-wl-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64.30.223.141-1.fc18.10.x86_64 needs kernel-uname-r = 3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64 (got both)
kernel-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64... now kernel-1000:3.11.1-2.pvops.qubes.x86_64 (which is newer...) is already installed.

Does it mean I'd have to downgrade dom0 kernel to install that driver?

There is no error here as I see.

Your problem is that you have to install this driver under your netVM
- if you want to make it permanent, then do it in your template...

Thank you very much for advice. I just got into another problem.
"At lease 115MB more space needed on the /usr/lib/modules filesystem."
And how should I extend that?

I did extend modules.img, and xvdd filesystem, but problem remains. :(

Sorry for (possibly) lame questions, but I'm totally new to those things. I've got some expirience with linux, but I've never played with xen, etc. Only VM I've used was simple virtualbox, and that was soo much more primitive then qubes.
