Phil, Earl, Thanks for pointing me to elrepo : yes, the kmod-compat-wireless page lists brcmsmac.ko. If someone else find this mail while wanting to use its bcm4313 adapter : rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm download the firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/ tar xzf linux-firmware-*.tar.gz mv linux-firmware-*/brcm/ /lib/firmware/ restorecon -rv /lib/firmware depmod -a : modprobe brcmsmac ... and it works.
