The broadcomm adapter on my laptop (see http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series) is working after the upgrade. I *was* hoping that the updates would solve packet duplication/loss problems that I've been having, and it does appear to be better, but I'm still seeing ping return 2% of packets with "DUP!" warnings and 8% packet loss. (With 5.2 it was more like 10% dup and 30% loss.) I did have to go into system-config-network (System -> Administration -> Network) and enable the wireless, but I don't recall if that's because I disabled it earlier (I had it on a wired connection for the upgrade because of the horrible lossiness of the wireless in 5.2).
