Ubuntu has slowed down recently on my P3 hardware- and I'd like to try Fedora, however I just don't understand why a distro as advanced and cutting edge as this one can't do what ubuntu has done since ubuntu 7.04!?!?! Come on guys- when can I install fedora on my hardware with this wifi card and have it working out of the box? I'm even willing to upgrade this old ibm R31 for the priveledge! P.S. This post isn't a troll- just a plea from a guy wishing for things he ain't got....

I have a broadcom 4311 and aside from this i've tried fwcutter and ndiswrapper. I'm going to walmart now to get a wifi card or something. Once again I’m disappointed.
