I had wireless working well with ndiswrapper on FC4 on my laptop. I
installed FC6 on other partitions, made an unsuccessful attempt to
configure wireless with BCM43xx. When I rebooted into FC4, wireless had
stopped working. I've tried unloading and reloading the module, deleting
and reinstalling the driver. Nothing has seemed to work. One thing I
find curious and I have illustrated below, I cannot change parameters
with iwconfig. Can someone offer insight into what I might have done to
screw up my wireless and what I can do to fix it? (The wireless network
is working because my wife's PowerBook is working fine.)
Thanks!
