[CentOS] Problems with Broadcom 4312 wireless

Thu Jun 11 11:54:48 UTC 2009
David McGuffey <davidmcguffey at verizon.net>

I'm migrating my son's Dell laptop from Vista to CentOS 5.3.  He came
back from each of his first two years of college loaded with virii and
trojans.  This year he said "Dad, can you give me Linux?"

5.3 went onto the laptop easily and after doing some research, I applied
the guidance for getting multimedia working and got the nvidia driver
loaded.  That works great.

Last problem is with the Broadcom 4312 wireless device.  Again, did some
research and found two ways.  One was the Broadcom provided Linux
driver, and the other was the guidance on how to use fw-cutter from
linuxwireless.com.  

Had a problem getting the Broadcom driver to compile (failed with a
"define TYPEDEF_BOOL" collision that I couldn't work out). Has been many
a year since I last worked with C/C++, so I tried the other guidance to
use fw-cutter. I now have partial success. The wireless device light
comes on, and the device attempts to negotiate a connection with a
wireless firewall/switch (I control). Need help figuring out why it is
failing.  Here is some output that might help:
