I have wiped out my XP dual boot with Open Suse and installed Fedora Core 7 on my Dell Inspiron B130. Dmesg shows it detected my wireless which is BCM but its says Radio turned off so it failed.
Here is the dmesg output:: bcm43xx driver ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4318, rev 0x2 bcm43xx: Number of cores: 4 bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0xd, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x9, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x804, rev 0xc, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x80d, rev 0x7, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: PHY connected bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Version: 3, Type 2, Revision 7 bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 8205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 8) bcm43xx: Radio turned off bcm43xx: Radio turned off Now this is the part when kernel tried to ifup eth1: SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() bcm43xx: PHY connected bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-2) bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 0, .enabled = 0, .encrypt = 0 SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for networks first.
