FC6 is on kernel 2.6.20 currently, and CentOS 5 is at 2.6.18. It is highly likely that the 2.6.20 bcm43xx driver will not be backported to 2.6.18 by RedHat; whether it even CAN be backported to 2.6.18 is questionable.
So evidently I need to install ndiswrapper. Any recommended places to download an RPM or a .src.rpm? RPMforge has one that requires dkms which in turn seems to mean that I have to compile something even after I install the .noarch.rpm, and if that's the case I'd rather just build it directly from the source.
It may be useful to know that (normally) DKMS packages will automatically compile the module post-install, and after each kernel update.
