Broadcom does not make firmware for their wireless cards available in a
freely redistributable form, so Fedora cannot distribute this firmware.
Thus, it cannot work out of the box. You can generate a firmware file
using the b43-fwcutter utility, but this doesn't help much for the live
environment. Feel free to request that Broadcom provide freely
redistributable firmware for their wireless products!

Well, would this work:
I'm using live to install on a 20gig partition that already has windows
installed.
Can I install f8 ( from dvd or livecd ), download the fw43-cutter rpm
under windows, use ntfs-utils to copy to the linux partition, install
it, and Voila! ??
Is fw43-cutter on the dvd?
