Description Orion Poplawski 2007-05-15 19:30:44 UTC
Description of problem:

I've got a Liksys WPC54GS  (Q87-WPC54GV12) with a BCM4306 chipset:

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
Controller (rev 03)

System recognizes it fine when I put it in and loads the driver:

pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64

bcm43xx driver

But s-c-n does not allow me to configure it.  ifconfig/iwconfig reports it as wlan0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-network-1.3.96-1.fc6

s-c-n is history, using NM now.
