I also think wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom would definitely be the way to go. Also I would like to note that 'modprobe' worked fine for me. And to correct compile error I've edited src/include/typedefs.h by adding '#define TYPEDEF_BOOL' right after header comment. Merry

Hi, this looks fine for me, thanks for your efforts! I don't have the laptop with the Broadcom card here but I'll test your procedure point by point in a few days when I'll upgrade the kernel there. Just one remark: I had to deactivate the 'network' service and activate the 'NetworkManager'

Hello everybody, actually Ubuntu also distributes Broadcom's driver in their default repositories, so these chipsets work out-of-the-box. I'm always ready to collaborate on tutorials, e-mail me. Maybe we could even write a shell script which could dowload and install Broadcom's driver
