Thanks for the tip.
I eventually abandoned bcm43xx in favour of ndiswrapper. Maybe bcm43xx
driver works for some people...but never for me. I've been running
FC5T2 (and subsequent updates) - every kernel that gets released for FC5
has bcm43xx pre-installed. Ordinarily I would consider that to be nice,
but I can't even scan for access points with that driver (i.e., using
iwlist scan), let alone actually connect. Thus, every time the kernel
gets updated, I have to rip out this driver and reinstall ndiswrapper -
if I don't take the driver out, it will always hijack the card on me,
even if I force everything to point to ndiswrapper (I'm sure there's
something I'm missing there). I hope development continues to
progress...or maybe it has, and the version being distributed with FC5
is out of date...
If you don't tell us what's going wrong, it will never be fixed.
There was a bug in the softmac scanning routine that was fixed last week. How long it will take for
the patch to propagate through the system is uncertain, but scanning will work when it does.
My understanding is that Fedora builds and distributes a kernel with 4K stacks. If that is true, you
are lucky that the Windows driver works. It was written to a standard that has 12K stack limits.
