I have a Linksys WPC54GSv2 Wifi card that was working fine in FC6 -
until I did a recent Yum update. It uses the bcmwl5.sys driver.
Now 80211_softmac insists on a 4.xx or newer - I assume because of a
buffer overflow exploit of the 3.x driver. Linksys does not offer an
updated driver for this card. I downloaded a more recent driver from
Linksys (bcmwl6.sys) for different card (supposedly, all firmware files
for the BCM43xx work for any card using that chipset, regardless of
brand), but fwcutter doesn't recognize that file.
Anyone know where I can find a version 4 bcmwl5.sys file. I've googled
myself to death - even checked Microsoft's site with no luck so far.
(I've never gotten Ndiswrapper to work, BTW, whereas using
bcm43xx_fwcutter does work, or did).
