Fedora 7 on hp dv9000 with broadcom wireless card

I 've been trying for the last three days to get my wireless card to work. I did a fresh install and updated the kernel to 2.6.22.1-27.fc7. I installed bcm43xx-fwcutter-006-1.fc7 and followed the instructions in this page http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras/ . No, I still can not get the wireless to work. Starting it through system-config-network gives me this error:

HTML Code:

bcm43xx_mac80211 devie wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.

Here'ss the output of the commands:
dmesg | grep -i broadcom

HTML Code:

bcm43xx_mac80211: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found

/sbin/lspci | grep -i broadcom

HTML Code:

/sbin/lsmod | grep -i bcm

When I reboot I get:
/sbin/lsmod | grep -i bcm

I did this:
/sbin/rmmod bcm43xx_mac80211 ssb mac80211
/sbin/modprobe bcm43xx
/sbin/lsmod | grep -i bcm

HTML Code:

Can someone give me an advice?
