You might want to contact Linuxant support for pointers. I'm using their
software under FC1 which was upgraded from FCT3 via yum, and I'm
experiencing zero problems. FWIW, it was compiled under FCT3, though.

Linux community has literally roared in Intel's and Broadcom's general
direction for months that they should develop a driver or help OSS
developers to develop it. To date, they haven't really done anything to
help driver development.

So obviously, Linuxant created the wrapper to answer the call. And it's
working well, my Dell TrueMobile 1300 is functioning just fine.
