Description of problem: Box is near-new (still under warranty) Dell Vostro 230, which uses Broadcom BCM57788. Fed-14 (Software Development package set) installed without problems and connected to internet (wired) without problems. Wanted to test Fed-15, so installed it. Install seemed to go ok, but, as disliked desktop, reverted to Fed-14. Fed-14 does not now want to connect to internet. However, Win-7 install does connect to internet. All Dell diagnostics work ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: On every re-install of Fed-14, including media check on DVD. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Standard install of Fed-14 from DVD created from downloaded iso. 2. Install Fed-15 3. Re-install Fed-14 Actual results: No internet connection. Expected results: Live internet connection. Additional info: Since win-7 worked, does the Fed-15 install write stuff into nvram maintained for BCM57788 (used by Fed-14 but not by win-7)? The problem affects Fed-14, but suggest caused by Fed-15.
Failure occurs with hub 'BT Homehub'. Live internet connection established with different hub. Found references on web to a firmware change for BT Homehub causing this failure with Linux. My BT Homehub uses the suspect version of the firmware. Therefore, failure not considered a bug with Fedora.
