This file has an unknown MD5sum 9207bc565c2fc9fa1591f6c7911d3fc0. # /usr/bin/bcm43xx-fwcutter -v bcm43xx-fwcutter version 005 Does this mean I should upgrade to FC7? I've been holding off until a few other things are said to be working. Should bcm43xx-old-config work on FC6? Thanks Julius </div></div>
