I have a Dell laptop that I believe has the same card. The CentOS 5 kernel did not appear to support it, but the RHEL 5.1 (and subsequently upon its release) the CentOS 5.1 kernel does support it. You will need to drop the firmware into /lib/firmware .. I believe this is a bcm43xx card.

Thanks Barry, In view of what you say about CentOS 5.1 supporting this card, I think I'm going to wait until it's released - hope that won't be too long. Any other possible solutions (eg like using ndiswrapper) look far too complicated for a linux newbie like me! I hope that I'll be able to update the kernel without having to do a complete re-install. In the meantime I'm just going to have to use MS Windows XP (I have dual-boot on this laptop) for any wireless networking.
