Huh???
* Red Hat or Fedora didn't get any driver from Broadcom, the driver comes from 
the bcm43xx project.
* The driver comes as GPLed source code, not "as a Fedora Core 3 rpm". Fedora 
doesn't ship binary drivers.
* The driver has had a lot of updates since it first got included. For example, 
it has been ported to the new mac80211 WLAN stack.

Please don't try helping out people about subjects you don't understand 
yourself!
