Again: this is a known bug in RC3 that's fixed in the final images. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/8/FinalTreeTesting which mentions bug #362721. > Fedora's network > tools did not see the Broadcom, however iwconfig does > come up with a wlan0.

Broadcom doesn't allow us to redistribute their firmware. Check /var/log/messages; there's probably messages in there like this: Firmware file [filename] not found or load failed. You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/bcm43xx#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version [number]). Download the appropriate firmware and follow the instructions on that page and your wireless will probably work just fine. -w
