I appreciate everyone's response. It turns out the problem was more 
fundamental. Somehow the laptop's radio transmitter had gotten turned 
off. I had to find the key combo that turned it back on. (Probably found 
it by mistake the first time.) That saga was covered in the thread I 
started "Problems with wireless". I now have wireless working on my 
laptop using bcm43xx and Fedora Core 6.You know how you feel elated at 
the small things sometimes? I'm extremely pleased with myself for for 
the moment. :)
