Hi all,


Long time, no speak. Shifting from private sector job to full-time 
freelance work took its toll.
As a result, among other things, the Broadcom Wiki page 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom I "maintain" was 
neglected, and over the past couple of years I've been receiving e-mail 
inquiries about the Wiki and its applicability.

I'm happy to say and let you all know that the Wiki page has been 
updated with instructions for compiling the latest Broadcom driver
with the latest kernel release, and the driver was tested. The current 
instructions are applicable to CentOS 6 x86_64, but I'm hoping to expand 
that to CentOS 7 as well.
CentOS 5 instructions were removed. Of course, I can post compilation 
instructions for 5 also, but it'd be tested on a VM and the driver 
module wouldn't actually go through proper testing. Your thoughts on 
this matter are certainly welcome.

The page is still being reviewed/edited by myself and could use 
'polishing', but again, your feedback is always more than welcome and 
even desired!
