at the risk of belabouring this issue (and i'm sure it's way too late to be worried about that *now* :-), i'm still interested in whether there's a known, reliable and deterministic way to get wireless working on f7 (and, additionally, f8t1) on my laptop which has a broadcom 4318 chip. having perused numerous web pages on the subject, i am now convinced that: 1) it can be done and it's easy 2) it can be done and it's messy 3) it can't be done and i need ndiswrapper the perfect example of self-contradictory documentation can be found here: http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t3014.html where the original poster is confident he has a solution, while a subsequent poster claims that he needed to do a bunch of additional work. argh. so, is there, somewhere, a set of instructions that actually represents a solution, and which doesn't contain the phrase "and if that doesn't work, try ..." somewhere in the middle? seriously, if wireless is really this much of a hassle, fedora is in for a rough ride. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
