trouble with a broadcom 4321 wireless card


fedora 9 picked up a broadcom bcm4321 wireless card and installed the driver and wrapper, but the card doesn't show in either the hardware or network applets.

any info i've found has only been on older cards, and the broadcom site has no drivers for this device.

it has no trouble picking up my external wireless card and wireless modem, but this is on a laptop i set up for somebody else, and he has no interest in surfing the new in windoze.

any info would be appreiciated.

Oddly enough, Broadcom has released Linux drivers for that chipset. You'll find them here.
