+# Broadcom BCM43602 workaround
+
+This is a quick and dirty trick to take control of this misbehaving network
+card.
+
+Scripts are tested on Fedora 29. If you have any problems, please file an issue
+here or via email at _corsaro [AT] fedoraproject [DOT] com_.
+
+Note that I did not want to package this workaround because it's, well, _dirty_.
+It does not fix the problem, just makes things bearable.
+
+## Install
+```
