native support for asus wl-138g-v2 (broadcom bcm4318)

Hi,
I want to install my wlan card on fc6.
I've recompiled the kernel and select broadcom driver as module.

It seems the the module is loaded:

Code:

#lsmod | grep bcm
bcm43xx               413600  0 
ieee80211softmac       35584  1 bcm43xx
ieee80211              35784  2 bcm43xx,ieee80211softmac

#lspci:

Code:

01:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

The card doesn't work. FC6 recognizes the card but when I wand to start it I get the message: Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable?

Is there any possibility to have native support for this card or it works only with ndiswrappers?

Thanks
ddaas

Is the firmware installed?

What's the output of iwconfig?

Is any security in place?

it won't work with my 4318 either. the developer site lists the 4318 as "Unstable (transmission power issues, work in progress)"

so it's probably ndiswrapper for a while
