@Doug Hudman: Check out the linux driver from broadcom itself, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

I didn’t own the Linksys WPC54GS anymore, so I can’t guarantee this driver will work for it. This driver works for BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware, please check your hardware first (lspci | grep bcm).

My current wireless card (bcm 4328) is pretty happy with the driver.

Since using your fix, my wireless has always worked, but I did notice when I look at the ifconfig it states it is running at 11 Mb and not 54Mb. Do you have a fix for this, or is this just a linux thing that doesn’t allow 54 Mb?

＠Doug Hudman: You’re very welcome! I hope I could help you more, but I can’t do that since I currently don’t have neither wusb54g nor fedore box in hand.

[...] Unknown wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt Debian Linux If you’re using Debian 4.0 but you find your 2-3 years old Linksys WPC54GS wireless card doesn’t work even though the system can “see” the hardware, then you may want to continue reading. Because the Linux kernel has already supported any BCM43xx wireless card, the only thing [...]
