So I downloaded it, but nothing happens when I tap, or dbl-tap on

Next? Surely there is a way to extract it and get the driver and
.inf file that ndiswrapper wants as an argument?
I had the same problem. I had to extract the driver under Windows.
You can extract it under Wine and when it blows up you'll find the
pieces under ~/.wine/drive_c/ (maybe SwSetup).

Ok, installing wine with yum now. This should be fun, never having run wine before... Humm, I typed 'wine SP30676.exe' and it installed about 20 megs of fonts! And at the end, a bunch of fixme's, and a flashing kicker bar section labeled "Broadcom InstallShield Wizard", so I tapped on that, and it ran, and now I have another section at the bottom of the screen labeled Broadcom 802-11 with a text window icon. Tap that for effect. And that gave me an error occured while launching the setup with a (0x80020005) 32 bit number appended. So it blew up as you said :)

But when wine was done, those files did exist. But ndiswrapper still fails with the exact same message when cd'd to that dir and running ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf,

"couldn't copy bcmw15.inf at ndiswrapper line 139"

I don't know why it doesn't work, what is the command you are
typing in? Are you in the directory what the files are? I think
you want the other inf file bcmwl5a.inf or somthing like that.
You can do a file * in that directory and it should be the ASCII
file not that data one.
