ok, there's another mystery i would like to clear up. when you say
you used system-config-network, are you saying that you can actually
see the broadcom chip? because when i run that very command, and try
to add a wireless device, i am presented only with "other wireless
card" and a drop-down menu whereas, in the previous release of fedora,
i could *swear* i was shown the actual broadcom chip and i was able to
configure it from there. (that drop-down list shows only a broadcom
tigon3 card, which seems inappropriate, so i don't bother going any
further down that path.)
so can you clarify what you're describing above? can you add a new
wireless connection thru system-config-network based on selecting your
actual broadcom chip? thanks.
