The   b43-fwcutter-011-3.fc9  firmware is what I have installed, with 
the b43legacy driver.






FC10 / KDE
I can't get a Broadcom 4306 wireless card working.

lsmod shows a b43legacy driver loading.

The firmware installed, b43-fwcutter-011-3.fc9.i386

This website shows different drivers , but I'm confused about which 
firmware is correct.
