Found a Linksys WPC54G ver 3.1 card on another shelf. Installed FC6, yum update, installed bcm43xx-fwcutter, cut firmware from the driver CD, chkconfig NetworkManager on chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher on reboot, unplug network cable, log in, and I could see available wireless networks, select one, enter WPA-PSK password, and I'm on the net. Install Centos 5 instead, bcm43xx-fwcutter (not in centos, need to get source and recompile), else as above. The machine panics when NetworkManager starts. If I reboot the machine without the PCMCIA card installed, NetworkManager can start, and I can log in. If I then insert the card I can see the networks in NetworkManager, however, I can't connect with the WPA password. In the beginning I had problems in FC6, some kernels worked and some didn't. The last kernels seem to work.
