I am getting this notice in dmesg on FC6, and trying to follow this procedure doesn't work on FC6:
# /usr/bin/bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum 9207bc565c2fc9fa1591f6c7911d3fc0.
# /usr/bin/bcm43xx-fwcutter -v
bcm43xx-fwcutter version 005
Does this mean I should upgrade to FC7? I've been holding off until a few other things are said to be working. Should bcm43xx-old-config work on FC6?
Thanks
Julius
