From the perspective or wireless, Linux
has come a long way IMAO.
The issues you are having with broadcom
wireless NIC drivers does not seem to be isolated. I have just in the last few
days started hearing more and more complaining about this chipset.
Seems many have gotten it to work:
Once you get the base hardware / drivers
functioning though, the new wireless managers (I use kde so “knetworkmanager”
works great) are very nice. They have a few quirks, but overall is on par with
most expectations if you come from a Windows environment.
PS: In the future. Please post some
details about your specific hardware, kernel, and chipset (‘lspci –v’
is your friend)

Subject: Status of wireless
I was wondering what was being done about wireless support in the
Fedora distribution. We seem to have plenty of trouble their and I particularly
haven't been able to get my
computer's Broadcom 4318 Air... card working.
