Many of us are having a problem with connecting with BCM43xx cards. The problem is that though the card has the appropriate drivers and it is recognized by the system it has a problem entering the WEP or WPA codes. It looks like it can even connect to windows network but not onto the internet. This seems to be a very common problem with this release of Fedora Core 7 and this card. Here is my result for the iwconfig. Maybe it can shed some light on the problem.
[root@localhost BCM]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
