Check dmesg. There must be more info there (especially when b43 is loaded).

Yes, indeed, dmesg:
b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed.
b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/
Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware
(version 4).
input: b43-phy0 as /class/input/input13
Thanks again,
Mike.

So I did what it says, and:
[root@mbrc15 driver]# which b43-fwcutter
/usr/bin/b43-fwcutter
[root@mbrc15 driver]# b43-fwcutter -v
b43-fwcutter version 009
[root@mbrc15 driver]# b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta_mimo.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum cb8d70972b885b1f8883b943c0261a3c.
[root@mbrc15 driver]#
root@mbrc15 driver]# pwd
/root/broadcom/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike.

Wait .. I see I used the wrong firmware version for my kernel.

Did you copy and paste that? You have an extra space. before
wl_apsta_mimo.o.
BTW, what's the diference between the wl_apsta_mimo.o and the wl_apsta.o?

I did paste it. That space belongs there, The -w is followed
by the target directory. Then a space and the filename.

I don't know; I did what I was told.

Yes, that was my last error. I switched to the version you are
using and it now works, unencrypted, but with MAC authentication.
I have yet to try WPA encryption. Have you tried it? Tomorrow
I leave for a long weekend, so I won't try it until next week.
However with the wifi working, I should be able to look at the
newsgroup.
Thanks again for your help.
Mike.

those first two commands don't seem to make much sense -- why would
you run the "which" command on b43-fwcutter only to have an extra
argument of the fully-qualified file name? i'm guessing you combined
the which command and its output on a single line, and that's really
not a good idea if you're trying to explain what you did.
