Hi, I want you to try something that is somewhat different. I went over that document once more: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp PCI table verification. That's your chip and driver: ... 14e4:4315 supported 2.6.33 and later (PIO mode) BCM4312 b/g LP b43 ... You have the required kernel ? [root@localhost jb]# uname -r 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 Instead of following the info under Fedora, I checked Mandriva as well and discovered some similarities to your chip: ... device firmware installation ... Mandriva ... There are different versions of firmware and tools you may need: ... b43 Linux-2.6.31 and newer, compat- 4.178.10.4 .... GO wireless-2.6 package, current GIT trees - for LP-PHY cards ... When you press the GO link you get to: ... You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312) ... Install b43-fwcutter, then use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually 4.174.64.19.) ... Let's do the down load and extraction operation: wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux $ su # b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta.o The extraction worked for me ! Well, try it and reboot now. Your dmesg should be more informative than the one you passed to us previously.
