Phil, Earl,

Thanks for pointing me to elrepo : yes, the kmod-compat-wireless page
lists brcmsmac.ko.

If someone else find this mail while wanting to use its bcm4313 
adapter :
rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
download the firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/
tar xzf linux-firmware-*.tar.gz
mv linux-firmware-*/brcm/ /lib/firmware/
restorecon -rv /lib/firmware
depmod -a : modprobe brcmsmac
... and it works.

Thanks again,
