<pre wrap="">I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop that I have installed Fedora Core 6 on.
The install went perfect, and now I'm trying to get the wireless going. The
card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [Airforce One 54G] 802.11 Wireless
Lan Controller. How do I get this thing going? Thanks!

<pre wrap="">And in the future, avoid any laptops or other computers with that
Broadcom junk. If you can replace that wireless card with something
else, so much the better. Look for Ralink, Realtek, or Intel wireless
instead.
I've had to wrestle with that Broadcom crap before. FWCutter does
indeed work, but we shouldn't have to do it.
Vote with your wallet. It works.

I'm not so sure about Intel - I've been trying to get the 3945ABG
to work for about a year now, to no avail.

You're right about the 3945, and I should've mentioned that. Intel
makes it difficult for reasons rather similar to that for Broadcom.
I'd stay away from those as well. The other Intel wireless chips, i.
e. pre-3945, work great, though.<br>
