List,
I think maybe I'm missing something with the setup of this driver. I've
installed the latest kernel from the rawhide (#1917), and tried the
prerelease at the link that Larry point out below. I do notice that the
stuff related to the bcm43xx driver is different that in the previous
rawhide kernels, but I'm effectively getting the same errors. Can
anyone help me identify what my problem could be? Is there something I
need to do after installing the kernel with the driver?
When I run iwconfig, I get this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"Auto" Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point:
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
When I try to set the txpower:
sudo /sbin/iwconfig eth1 txpower auto
Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
If I try to scan with iwlist:
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
If it will add any insight, below are the messages I get in
/var/log/messages (while running the #1926 kernel prerelease by Dave J.
From this, it looks to me like the driver is being loaded...so maybe
I've got to do something else to actually make it work:

Ok...so should I look for this in the next kernel released by Fedora?
I think so. If you want to try the one I used last night, check the RPMs
at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/devel/.
