Norman:  What hardware is reported in the Hardware Browser?  I had a similar
issue with one of my systems (could recognize the Broadcom hardware) and had
to build a driver anyway.  Same issue for my Broadcom wireless, but Broadcom
doesn't distribute Linux drivers for their wireless chipsets, at least not
in the U. S.  I'm guessing that you have someone else's wireless hardware
built in.  If you do have Broadcom wireless hardware, I'd love to know how
you got it running.

Perhaps http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/ can be of help, if you decide that
a "fresh-baked" driver is what you want to do.

Hope this helps.   Erik
