*Linux  2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64*, after that my wireless Brodcom 
BCM4312 is not working , on old kernel it was working fine ... if I boot

I've done it .....but not working for me :-(

Please tell me one thing .... which driver you are using for Brodcom 
BCM4312 form the following

1) broadcom-wl  5.10.91.9.3-1fc12 (noarch)

2) ndiswrapper  1.54-2.fc11

or

3) Broadcom provided  driver  802.11 Linux STA driver  ( downloaded from 
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php )

In my case i have a Broadcom BCM4312  (HP Notebook), it works with the
following packages (don't forget to power-on the wifi):

kmod-wl-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.6.i686
kmod-wl-5.10.91.9.3-3.fc12.10.i686
broadcom-wl-5.10.91.9.3-1.fc12.noarch

Just go back to using the previous kernel in your GRUB menu. You can edit your
grub.conf file to select the previous kernel automatically. These issues
usually work themselves out within a couple days with some new updates. After
installing the new kernel I noticed the Nvidia driver wasn't working so I
didn't get to the wifi, so I'm using the previous kernel until I notice a fresh
batch of updates to try again.

Today I got regular update from fedora or may be from rpmfusion .....

My kernel is 32bit.
I installed my fc12 with DVD iso.
Mine didn't work until I update to 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE.

Maybe, you should wait for the next kernel update.

Similar issue, prev. worked (2.6.31.5) this one doesn't. NIC starts up then shut 
back down. I had other issues, my synaptics touchpad stopped working as well. 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550719). I'm going to post a bug on 
that if I can catch it.

Might be firmware, though...
