Hi all,


Long time, no speak. Shifting from private sector job to full-time
freelance work took its toll.
As a result, among other things, the Broadcom Wiki page
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom I "maintain"
was
neglected, and over the past couple of years I've been receiving e-mail
inquiries about the Wiki and its applicability.

I'm happy to say and let you all know that the Wiki page has been
updated with instructions for compiling the latest Broadcom driver
with the latest kernel release, and the driver was tested. The current
instructions are applicable to CentOS 6 x86_64, but I'm hoping to expand
that to CentOS 7 as well.
CentOS 5 instructions were removed. Of course, I can post compilation
instructions for 5 also, but it'd be tested on a VM and the driver
module wouldn't actually go through proper testing. Your thoughts on
this matter are certainly welcome.

The page is still being reviewed/edited by myself and could use
'polishing', but again, your feedback is always more than welcome and
even desired!
