Just installed fedora 8, could anybody please help me on getting my wireless card working. It is an Asus wl-138ge with the Broadcom 4318 chipset on it. I'm using an i386 architecture.

Thanks for any help.

Well I got the broadcom 4318 too and it isn't really hard getting this to work. I prefer using ndiswrapper to get this working. Have a look here. if you got any questions/problems post here.
