Reloading the windows driver fixed my problem. Thank you very much, Tobias.

Chris, I'm running FC4, so yum would not find a bcm43xx-fwcutter 
package. I would suppose that if the kernel knows about bcm43xx, it 
could be made to work on FC4. However, that would require more effort 
than I have time for now. I intend to try it when I upgrade to FC5. But 
I'm running into other problems with that at the moment :).

Thanks guys!

Andrew
