Hi,
I have a fresh install of FC10 on a Dell XPS laptop with a Broadcom
network controller (from lspci):
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n
(rev 03)

Using iwlist eth1 scan, I can see a dozen access points, including
mine. But
I can't make a connection. The system log tells the story:
Apr 10 23:03:24 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
Apr 10 23:03:30 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
Apr 10 23:03:40 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13
Apr 10 23:03:53 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
Apr 10 23:04:09 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9
Apr 10 23:04:18 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
Apr 10 23:04:25 host-148 dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
There is one other odd thing; on the iwlist scan, my access point comes
up twice,
once with the correct MAC, and once with some other MAC I can't
identify. I've never
seen that before.
So near, yet so far! Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Dumb question - are you using WEP/WPA? If so, did you enter your
key? I have seen problems like this when using a private key and the
wireless router is set in the restricted mode. (You can only connect
with the shared key.)
