Actually, to make this thread at least a little bit on topic (you know, 
this is fedora-devel, not fedora list), I have to continue on my line 
about superheros -- to my biggest satisfaction John Linville made my 
BCM4318 working in the late F8 (or was it really early F9/Rawhide; I am 
not sure). I am quite sure it needs a lot more stabilization and testing 
(which makes it a topic here) but I think you can try to get it. Of 
course, if you prefer your notebook to be more likely to just work (and I 
had my fair chance of problems with iwl3945 as well), then Intel chips are 
much more supported.
