Sorry I dropped off the thread, but Time Warner lost my Internet connection for the better part of the week. I appreciate everyone's eyes and help so far.
To summarize, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 and then had to upgrade to bcm43xx-80211 and version 4 of the drivers for my wireless. Now after booting up, the radio is configured (iwconfig) and the adapter is configured (ifconfig), but I cannot connect to the Internet. If I run 'ifup eth1', my network then works. It is as if 'ifconfig' was run before 'iwconfig' during the bootup process.
While my Internet connection was out, I created a work-around. I created an init.d script that runs 'ifup' and set it to run just before the netfs script. I added 'ifconfig', 'iwconfig', 'iwlist' and 'ping' commands before and after the 'ifup' to try to capture the state of the interface before and after the 'ifup'. The results are listed below. I don't see anything in there to indicate the problem. If any of you guys do, please let me know.
Thanks!

I too have recently upgraded to this configuration (bcm43xx-8021, version 4 firmware, and FC6). I also have a wired connection (usually). The main lossage I notice is that during boot-up, I see the error messages that 8B06 ("Set Mode") 8B20 ("Set Bit Rate") are not recognized commands, and there is a long pause and ultimate failure trying to obtain an IP address for eth1 (the wireless interface). Later on, after being logged in for a while, if I unplug the wired connection eth0, Network Manager has no problem switching over to the wireless interface. However, I have been able to hang the machine by plugging the ethernet cable back in.
