If you don't want the auto speed adjustment, or are unhappy with it, you can
change the rate setting
with the 'iwconfig eth1 rate Y' command. As

If you are running bcm43xx-mac80211 from the Rawhide kernel, it will auto-scale
the rate as best it
can. Do you have interference?

Larry, your driver seems to work pretty well, the bcm43xx one,
however, sometimes I have to reboot to get it working right again(I

Do I just get that again? It seems like it has not been updated for a

I was just wondering if there's a bz2 file with the latest bcm43xx

There is a way to use any driver with the rpm kernel, as long as
it does not require some deeper patching of the kernel.

Yes, of course there is. You just have to add the PCI ID of your own
card by echoing it to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/bcm43xx/new_id

I can't seem to get it to let me use only bcm43xx and not bcm43xx-mac80211.
Also, which firmware here is v3?
If you run this script by John Linville, your system will use bcm43xx. It will
also download and
install the V3 firmware.
I did what you suggested and just bcm43xx is loaded, but it does
nothing. It creates no wireless interface.
