looking into /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-006/README.Fedore suggests:
su
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware bcmwl6.sys
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum f40e789916831945e2420c333350c57b.
I also tried a bcmwl5.sys off the Internet and it did copy files into /lib/firmware:

But still no wireless Internet connection.
Has anyone gotten this wireless circuit to work?
Should I try ndiswrapper?
Thanks in advance,
