I got my Broadcom wireless device working, but I am not sure how fast it is. It seems to be really slow compared to ndiswrapper. The problem above was that wlan0/ndiswrapper were still installed. To uninstall them, I did the following: 1) rmmod ndiswrapper 2) ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5 3) removed alias wlan0 bcm43xx from /etc/modprobe.conf 4) rm ndiswrapper from /etc/modprobe.d 5) remove ifcfg-wlan0 if present from /etc/network-scripts 6) in firestarter, remove wlan0 from the internet or network connections in preferences. Double check this happens by looking in /etc/firestarter/configuration 7) I temporarily rmmod bcm43xx After you do this, there should be only one wireless entry in the hardware tab in system-config-network. Then I ran /etc/init.d/network restart and made sure that wlan0 was not showing up. Once the restarts were clear of wlan0, I modprobe bcm43xx and then used system-config-network to add a new wireless device, etc. From that point on it was more or less straightforward. I hope this helps someone. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
