I'm being lazy cause I'm tired so I'm posting this without googling first. sry. Anyone know a way to get the bcm43xx driver (source or binary) for FC5 other than grapping snapshots and compiling?
thanks

You're probably sleeping by now and won't see this...even thought you could have googled in the same time it took you to write the first sentence. :-)
Seems as if this driver is included....
./kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko
So, what's the issue?

What do you get when you cross grep with an "Aw sh*t!" , late at night? Grap! <g> You must have been tired! Ric

It is already included in FC5...
Try this: grep -1 bcm43xx /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-5/RELEASE-NOTES-en.txt
When I tried it (ie modprobe bcm43xx) on my Dell Latitude X300 it froze my machine totally.

that's why we crippled it so that it doesn't auto-load. There's something funky about the Dell's that the driver tickles in some way. The same behaviour hasn't been seen on any other systems afaik.

So I should be able to modprobe it on my pavilion zv5440? I also read that there is some patching you have to do to get it to work with NetworkManager.

OK. Is there something I can do (try or test) to help solving the problem. It would be nice to have it working without ndiswrpapper.
