I'm running F6 (2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 kernel) and the bcm4318 works perfectly with ndiswrapper using networkmanager or neat (works with wep and wpa). It's stable and fast. With any newer kernel I need to use the rev. 4 firmware. I finally found this firmware and used fwcutter to extract and install it in /lib/firmware. It ALMOST works. NetworkManager starts and tries to connect (dmesg shows that the radio is on and the driver is loaded) but never connects. Worse it ALWAYS locks up the system (can't even get to a console or open a terminal shell) and I have to do a hard reboot. I'm running on a Dell Inspiron 2200 that has the 4318 built in. I'm not sure why newer kernels would necessarily screw up a working wireless card. Is there some way to use the older driver with ndiswrapper and the newer kernels? I have not been able to get ndiswrapper to work with this card and the newer kernels. I need to fix this before I can consider moving to F8. Any suggestions on getting this to work would be appreciated. Any suggestions for a wireless pccard would also be appreciated.
