to get the above card working in Fedora 8 I did the following (as root)

 

get the latest firmware



Code:
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2




 

uncompress it



Code:
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2




 

change directory to where the uncompressed files now are

 



Code:
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5
cd driver/




 

add the firmware

 



Code:
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta_mimo.o




 

associate with an Access Point called wireless_g with a 64 bit wep key qqq99.



Code:
iwconfig wlan1 mode "managed" essid "wireless_g" key "7171713939"
