I understand the issue with Broadcom and thier wireless products. I also understand that the driver for said devices had to be reverse engineered, and it works for the most part.
However, is there any work being done on the firmware for Broadcom wireless chipsets?
If so where can I find it? I searched but had no valid results of my own. Also, is there a official source for the the driver project?

Basically you'll need to install 2 things in order for your broadcom wireless device to work.
First- You'll need to install the fw-cutter packages that will allow you to use native broadcom support
Second- you'll need to obtain the proper firmware for your particular broadcom device.
Other than that you can check out the instructions here: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=115572&highlight=native+broadcom

I think you misinterprated my questions. I am simply looking for info, news and updates on further developments. I have my broadcom wireless squared away nicely. I just want to keep up with the developments.

The information link I posted above should have their mailing list information as well as their IRC channel. That's probably the best way to stay up-to-date as to what's going on with the project.
