ndiswrapper and FC5

was thinking of trying FC5 on my laptop. Right now I have Mandriva on it but haven't gotten the wireless working. It has a Broadcom 4318 wireless network adapter. Has anyone gotten one of these to work without using ndiswrapper?

Seen that site. Tried reading it but didnt make much sense to me. Was like trying to read latin. That was why I was thinking of trying FC5 if it would work. Guess I'll just have to try and get ndiswrapper to work.

ndiswrapper should work just make sure you install the kernel-devel rpm that matches your current running kernel version.
