Thanks.  That's too old, but it got me on the right lines, giving me some 
clues of things to search for.  I started with "yum search broadcom", then 
installed b43* (some of which were already installed), broadcom-wl and kmod-
wl.  Now the tools see my wireless network which is definitely a step in the 
right direction.  but...

I see the Secrets dialog - endlessly.  I know the passphrase is correct, but 
it disappears for a second or two then re-appears.  What's the next stage?
