First you will need firmware: 1) Install bcm43xx-fwcutter 2) Get a Broadcom-distributed driver to cut the firmware out of # See the list in /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-006/README # For the newer driver you'll need 4.x firmware. I recommend: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
I'll try this, but I suspect it won't work, because I have a pretty old bcm4306 PCI card in my desktop machine. Last time I checked, my card isn't supported by the 4.x firmware. :-( -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
