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.

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.

Just giving Ralph a gentle bump -- on Milos' behalf.

(It's not the time of a pre-Christmas beer festival in Germany, is it?)
