Working PCI wireless cards on Fedora 7 i386 (kernel: 2.6.22-rc7) by abecido (3):

use bcm43xx-fwcutter to get the firmware.

Doesn’t works with all kernel version.

Fedora 7 with kernel 2.6.21.1 to 5 works.
Fedora 7 with higher kernel version from 2.6.21.6 to 2.6.22.1 doesn’t work

I compiled kernel 2.6.22-rc7 and wireless works.
