I'm getting an error on the network start something about a bad var from 
something called RTNETLINK, but it works rather well despite that.  And 
its strange also in that I see it if I do a service network restart, 
but the error is not making it to the logs.

Can't help, I'm on the i386 version of FC5, but I'm running the bcmwl5 
driver from the install of XP Home edition on this one.
