Hi there
i never got NetworkManager to work with bcm43xx but using network and
wpa_supplicant with the required conf for WPA2 is rock solid for me

technically (according to linuxwireless.org) i should be using the b43
module but the bcm43xx in the stock CentOS kernel with v3 of the
broadcom firmware works very well
