It should but it doesn't for me. Neither anaconda nor installed
system
created a device for the wireless card, while on FC6 and F7T1 LiveCD it
worked without problems. These steps only lead to initializing the card by
the driver (or what does it do), but device (even after reboot) isn't still
there (i.e. for me that the eth1 device does not exist). I attach dmesg and
lspci output. Any clues?
You have a bcm4318 device. This is probably the most problematic of
the bcm43xx devices. FWIW, the ones I have work fine. But, others
have problems. Does your work better if you get physically close to
the AP (2-3 meters or less)?
You may wish to continue using the bcm43xx driver, and blacklist the
bcm43xx-mac80211 driver instead. If so then you will also need to
go back to v3.x firmware.
Hth!
