Thanks. That's too old, but it got me on the right lines, giving me some
clues of things to search for. I started with "yum search broadcom", then
installed b43* (some of which were already installed), broadcom-wl and kmod-
wl. Now the tools see my wireless network which is definitely a step in the
right direction. but...
I see the Secrets dialog - endlessly. I know the passphrase is correct, but
it disappears for a second or two then re-appears. What's the next stage?
