It's a .src.rpm, so you build it yourself on your own running kernel. If 
you've done that, you've probably ended up with an i686 kernel module in 
an RPM labelled as "i386". You can get the right RPM packaging like this:

rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 bcm5700-7.3.5-1.src.rpm

However, I don't think it'll be any different from the package you 
already have. Anyway, give it a try, then do:

# rpm -e bcm5700
# rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.3.5-1.i686.rpm

Then do "rmmod bcm5700" to make sure the module isn't loaded, and then 
try "modprobe bcm5700". Then look in /var/log/messages to see what 
output the module made when you tried to load it.
