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.
