I'm not overly familiar with broadcom wireless (always tried to avoid 
it), but we can probably package wl.ko as a kABI-tracking kmod for el5 
over at ELRepo.org if you're interested? This would remove the need to 
recompile the driver from source for every kernel update, not to mention 
provide a user friendly RPM package for yum.

Also, does this driver require firmware, and if so where does one obtain 
that?
