Re: Linux + Wireless NICS
I haven't used a Broadcom card in quite some time, my old laptop had one and it worked. If you want to PM me, I'd be happy to SSH into the box and take a look for myself. I really really really hate people using ndiswrapper if they don't have to. :)

Good news... I had to install the modules manually via modprobe. Now I am seeing wireless networks in Network Manager. Now let me see if I can connect.
Bad news... The desktop freezes up after Network Manager connects to the wireless network. Froim what I have gleaned online it's some sort of bug related to NM.
Going to try to shut down NM and connect manually.

At this point I'm willing to look at anything that might work.
Re: Linux + Wireless NICS
It's highly unlikely that a user space is going to cause a lock up.. I wouldn't venture down that road just yet.

Yeah, I suspect it's a "kernel" issue. Besides, wicd rpm's for Fedora are not to be found. And I'm not in the mood to start configing and compiling a tarball right now :)..
We'll give it another go as planned tomorrow or later this week.
