i think i see your point.  even after all the previous output looked
good, when i ran system-config-network to configure the wireless
interface, i tried to add a new wireless connection, and all i got for
a choice of wireless card was "other wireless card."  i was assuming i
would at least get presented with the wireless interface that was in
the laptop.

and in that drop-down list of choices, the only broadcom chip was
"Tigon3" which i'm guessing is not the right choice.  but, really, i
was hoping that the config utility would see the chip.  was i being
hopelessly optimistic and naive?
