I have probably been through 100+ posts and threads trying to figure out what is happening. I have attached two files. One contains the output from dmesg. The other has the output from several commands as requested in the doc. I have the latest of all of the commonly used software - ndiswrapper, Broadcom STA, Fedora FC16 with all updates, b43-fwcutter, and a lot more that I can't remember. The pc I am using has an ethernet connection. I am trying to get the wireless working there. I am not able to successfully connect to my home wireless network. I can somewhat connect by manually assigning the IP address. It will connect and assign an IP address but I can't do anything. If I try ping, I get host unreachable. My question stems from a lack of what to do. Looking at your documentation, I see references to b43-fwcutter. Do I have to do something with that program? I have read what it does, but no where have I read anything about me having to do something to get the firmware. Another question is which drivers should I be using - Broadcom STA, b43, or ndiswrapper with windows drivers for xp? I have tried to get all of these working at some point. I may have tried running several at the same time as I don't know how to check what is being used. I can list what is installed. Should I open a thread some place? If so, I was thinking the Networking forum at Fedora. I found your site listed in one recent post there. I could add to it. Thanks in advance for any help and advice you give.
