Received the following error message on F7 Test 4:

I am unable to find a newer bcmwl5.sys to extract the firmware with
bcm43xx-fwcutter. If I find a driver with a version that should work,
it fails the md5 check.
Also, bcm43xx worked great under FC6.
Any suggestions? I'm hesitant to file a bug, since this sounds like a
user problem.
This really depends on the model number and revision of your chipset.
I have a bcm4306 revision 2 chipset. The bcm43xx_mac80211 driver will not
work for me. (The chipset does not have enough memory for the revision 4
firmware.) I had to blacklist that driver and use the old bcm43xx driver.
Later chipsets can handle the new firmware. It seems that there is a bit
of overlap on pci ids involving this chipset.
