OK, I'm been working on the following issues for over a week now and have made little to no progress, any help will be greatly appreciated:

First off, my system [ Gateway 7510GX, AMD64, ATI X600, Broadcom 802.11g wireless, Kernel 2.6.15-1.2041_FC5 ]

Issue 1: Wireless Broadcom does not seem to work.
/sbin/ifup eth1 --Returns
Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable?

/sbin/iwconfig --Returns
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"CrystalStar" Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.462 GHz Access Point: Invalid
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
NOTE that Access Point is Invalid, I have never been able to get this to change.

/sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device

Any Ideas?

Issue 2: Wine / opengl
Is there a reason there are no rpms for FC5 except for the doc's? After much effort to resolve library issues I finally got it buit and installed and when I try anything that used OpenGl, specifically WoW.exe but not limited to it, this is what I get.
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 295
Current serial number in output stream: 295

Issue 3: ATI TV Wonder USB2
I have not ever had luck on this one, tried it in FC4, and again in FC5 T3 I tried a few things with the bvtt driver with out luck. If you can at least point me in a direction I can work on this more myself, I'm just out of ideas.

For 1: you have to install ndiswrapper and this is how: http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/How_To_Install_Your_Broadcom_BCM4318_Using_Ndiswra pper

For 2 & 3 I've never used wine or ati wonder.

There is a known bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179538) that has not yet been resolved relating to Broadcom wireless and FC5. As for the rest I suggest you wait until Monday and download the final FC5 release. Then consult Fedora Core 5 Installation Notes (http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html).
