So is it time to abandon this approach and look at ndiswrapper?
Some have reported BCM working ok. I can't say that I've ever gotten to
the point of declaring success, although Eric's machine looked like it
was working -- for a while. Then the ping times got worse; sounds
suspiciously like a bug.
Maybe it's worsened by x86_64? <sigh>
Investment in learning ndiswrapper might look good on your installfest
resume. :-)

I was also one reporting success. It was on an old Toshiba Tecra 8000
laptop (PII-400/256M RAM running F7). It took a while to get things
right, but I finally got it to connect to my AP using WPA-PSK (WPA2).
Unfortunately, I don't have regular access to it anymore so I can't
really give details on the config, other than it's using the BCM43xx
driver and firmware extracted with fwcutter. I believe the card is a
Linksys WPC54GSv2.
