I saw a message on wireless support via a rawhide kernel on (what I assume to be) stock fc4. [http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-December/msg00820.html]
However, that is a 2.6.14 kernel. Is there a patch, instead of having to grab a binary? Does it apply against newer rawhide kernels? Any chance of a patch against a fc4 kernel? Anyone running a rawhide kernel on an otherwise stock fc4 machine?

Newer rawhide kernels contain bcm43xx support anyway.

Use John Linville's 'netdev' kernels: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/

Yeah. My PowerBook runs rawhide kernels because the bcm43xx driver works better there. ISTR with the FC4 netdev kernel it would lose the connection every time NetworkManager scans for networks; with the FC5 kernel it manages to stay connected. Nobody knew why; we couldn't be bothered to investigate. It may no longer be happening now that FC4 is also updated to 2.6.15.
