Ok, installing wine with yum now.  This should be fun, never having run 
wine before...  Humm, I typed 'wine SP30676.exe' and it installed about 
20 megs of fonts!  And at the end, a bunch of fixme's, and a flashing 
kicker bar section labeled "Broadcom InstallShield Wizard", so I tapped 
on that, and it ran, and now I have another section at the bottom of 
the screen labeled Broadcom 802-11 with a text window icon.  Tap that 
for effect.  And that gave me an error occured while launching the 
setup with a (0x80020005) 32 bit number appended.  So it blew up as you 
said :)

But when wine was done, those files did exist.  But ndiswrapper still 
fails with the exact same message when cd'd to that dir and running 
ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf,

 "couldn't copy bcmw15.inf at ndiswrapper line 139"

Doing all this as root obviously.

HELP!
