1) I am using FC5 2.6.17 kernel which has both broadcom and sdhci modules. However both wireless lan and card reader were NOT working with my shiny brand new nootbook.
I had installed the fireware of the broadcom to /lib/firmware
lspci -vv give the follwing infomation:

However, nothing happenng with the wireless lan and or the card reader with I insert a SD card into the card reader.
Is there more trick to do in additional to load the modpules.
Thanks a lot!
