What shows up when you enter an iwconfig command? If eth1 is your wireless device, then the driver is loaded and you will just need to use the configuration procedure of your distro, which you neglected to tell us. The information you want is not on the bcm43xx site because it is not the same for Fedora users as it is for those with SuSE, for example. When you ask a question like this, always supply the distro that you use and the kernel version you are running. You can get that from the uname -r command.
