I think I'm having the same problem but the

[root localhost ~]# ip link set eth1 up
[root localhost ~]# iwconfig eth1 enc my_hex_wep_key
[root localhost ~]# iwconfig eth1 essid my_essid
[root localhost ~]# ifup eth1

isn't helping me. When I run the ifup eth1, I get a failed, no link present....check cable? I did everything in the thread. I can see the wifi light flick on when it's supposed to but it's just not connecting so I think the driver should be working. What can I do? I'm new to linux so I don't know much...

I'm running a Compaq v2405ca w/ FC5T3. I updated everything using yum update beforehand connected through the lan port my router is a linksys 54g set with dhcp on. What should I check? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the better part of a week on this and ndiswrapper is even worse. I can't even get the light on w/ that. Pleeese help! :(

Stan,
Any updates to this nasty painfull procedure? Is native support for Broadcom cards going to happen in Core 5?

No apparent progress on the bug report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179538) so far. However I believe they may be waiting on some action upstream at http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
