Hi Ralph,

I'm a member of CentOS forum and I've tracked problems laptop users
are having with Broadcom's wireless hardware (namely, the one(s) in
the subject).
Under the circumstances, I had to install one of these myself back in
August, which I did - after doing some googleing. Shortly after,
NedSlider considered compiling the driver for ELrepo, but gave up
after reviewing Broadcom's software license. Meanwhile, I've noticed
quite a few people having problems with installation of this
particular driver, but usually asking for help due to lack of a
comprehensive manual, and thats just on forum and mailing list.

The point:
I've written a manual (hopefully comprehensive one), and would like to
publish it on CentOS Wiki pages (CentOS on Laptops, in particular).
I've already discussed this issue with Alan Bartlett, and both he and
Phil (NedSlider) expressed their support. Alan also refered you as the
man I should send this request to along with my Wiki login name, so
you could  eventually escalate my privileges on CentOS Wiki.
My CentOS Wiki login name is:         MilosBlazevic
