Not sure if its relevant.
I tried Ubuntu (7 something) with ndiswrapper and it worked beautifully.
Tried the firmware (using bcm43xx-fwcutter) and it worked too, however 
the card would take longer to connect to a network.

Dont know why that happened.. i simply reverted back to ndiswrapper.

As for Centos, i have never installed it on my laptop,
but only on our servers.
