You could build a new version of bcm43xx-mac80211 from the tree, but I suggest building and/or using the softmac version of bcm43xx (the one that uses V3 firmware) as long as you have the kernel sources. With 2.6.21 or later, no patches are required. > So why is there bcm43xx? Or is this module for older firmware (3.x)? If yes, >then I could use bcm43xx instead (with previously used firmware) until Fedora >applied the needed patches? Yes, bcm43xx is for the V3 firmware, and uses SoftMAC for its MAC layer. Does your current kernel have bcm43xx already built? If so, just use it.
