Quoting Bart Schaefer <barton.schaefer@xxxxxxxxx>:
I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta seems to work with it successfully. Everything else points to using ndiswrappers and the Windows drivers.
Is it a bcm43xx card? check your dmesg output and see if it needs a firmware file. If so, that's where you start. If not, ndiswrapper works :)
