Hi Derick, thanks for looking into this problem.

Beware that the file AppleAirPort2 does not exist any more in Leopard. Perhaps the good one is named now /Library/Extensions/I080211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAirPortBrcm4311 but I extracted the drivers from a copy of OSX10.3 I still had around. > [...] > So never accept the computer's view on face value in any operating system. > [...] Yes, I have grasped this 30 years ago, no problem here either :-) > The first three instructions under the section: Configure your... under Linux. > Didn't work.

So I start to create a new ifcfg-eth1 using system-config-network (which I believe should be what Anaconda does on a fresh install). I follow Network Configuration -> new Device Type -> Wireless Connection. Here I only see "Other Wireless Card" as a possible choice. If I choose that, the BCM4306 does not show up in the device list. I tried "Airport" but it does not work (I guess that is the Airport of former powerbooks). If I follow Network Configuration -> new Device Type -> Ethernet Connection then I do see the BCM4306, but the resulting configuration does not work either. IN both cases, by "does not work" I mean that the interface refuses to start with > #ifconfig eth1 up Can you tell me what you have in /etc/modprobe.conf ?
