That was as far as I got several months ago under FC6 when the native
bcm43xx driver came out. There is (was?) a bugzilla for bcm43xx
problems. I was able to get it to work only as long as I turned off
authentication at my WAP.
I recently tried bcm43xx with CentOS5 and the system froze during boot.
This was with an x86_64 kernel. I went back to ndiswrapper which seems
to work. I had an odd lockup/panic problem that was resolved with the
1.43 version of ndiswrapper.
Cheers,
Dave
