Philippe,

You can try ELRepo, I believe that they have the drivers for boderdom, they
also have kernel 3.3.x, please read their note about using kernel 3.3.x. I
have tried it and I did not have any issues with it.

Check http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-compat-wireless to see if it supports
your hardware with the standard kernel.

Phil, Earl,

Thanks for pointing me to elrepo : yes, the kmod-compat-wireless page
lists brcmsmac.ko.

If someone else find this mail while wanting to use its bcm4313
adapter :
rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
download the firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/
tar xzf linux-firmware-*.tar.gz
mv linux-firmware-*/brcm/ /lib/firmware/
restorecon -rv /lib/firmware
depmod -a : modprobe brcmsmac
... and it works.

Thanks again,

Philippe,

Thank you for the note. The kmod-compat-wireless wiki page has been
updated using your lines as an example for installation.

Oh. After re-reading my post, I found a couple of mistakes :
- the actual URL for the firmware is
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=e4379d14549cd9b29988cf3c5b 74b29d2051dd09
- and the ";" turned ":" in "depmod -a ; modprobe brcmsmac"

Sorry for the inconvenience, and a lot of thanks for your job !

I noticed both :-)

The URL I chose pulls down the whole thing. I will make a change to
your corrected link.

Thanks again,
