This answered a question I'd been trying to figure out ALL DAMN DAY. Broadcom b43xx "Air Force One" WiFi card on Fedora Linux 9. The bulk of the instructions out there point to this page at Linux Wireless...
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
The important things on that page aren't there as of July 29, 2008. The links to the actual Broadcom drivers don't exist, but yet everybody points to the document. IT'S WRONG!
Follow The Joker's howto at the Ubuntu Software forum. All you need are the parts about downloading the driver and installing the firmware if you have Fedora 9, as the requisite firmware loader, b43-fwcutter is part of the standard packages.
A vic'try for all mankind, goddammit.

Make Mine Rock
Well, I think that rock and roll is the greatest form of popular music ever.
Nothing else to say.

Wendy's French Fries? Suck.
Well, went to Wendy's for lunch today. They forgot my straw for one. Good work, guys. Had to drink my Diet Coke with my lips.
Bleh.
But that's not why I came to speak to you today. No, I want to talk to you about french fries. Wendy's has quite possibly the WORST fast food fries available in the world today. When they're done right, they're really good. It's just that it seems to be next to impossible for that to happen. One time of ten perhaps, they're worth eating. The rest of the time, they end up soggy and mushy, sometimes underdone... or they're hard, crunchy, all burnt to that caramel shade of brown... or they're just plain stale.
Everybody I know says "HEY JIIMEY JUST PUT TEH SALTE NO TEHM!!!" I say, "No."
The reason? I shouldn't need to. Besides, I'm going to slather them in ketchup or barbecue or sweet and sour or ranch or caesar or maybe even MOTHER FUCKING ALFREDO. So why salt? I dunno. That just makes me drink more drink.
Which leads me to another Wendy's hassle. Refills. Every other place on Earth has a drinkbar now. But Wendy's? You gotta go flag down someone up front to get you more.
Jesus.
Just look at this crap.
Why the Hell couldn't I remember to get a fuckin' baked potato? Damn. Now I want the sour cream and onion deliciousness.
Bleh.
