Broadcom Wireless, Fedora 6

I've been trying for several years to get Linux working on my laptop managed to get it work on 32bit but wanna use the Turion's full 64bit processing.

Want to get Fedora 6 AMD 64 working finally any tips either step by step using ndiswrapper or another method.

Please help get me off the Bill Gate's scam bandwagon!!!!

Have you tried other distros or are you just trying like hell to get Fedora working?
What wireless card do you have?
What's the model of your laptop?
Why do you want 64 bit processing? Why not just 32 bit?

Well, other distros are much cheaper than a new wifi card, so give Ubuntu or Kubuntu a try.

But if you want to stick with Fedora and your current card, then ndiswrapper will be your friend. Go to the ndiswrapper wiki and search some of the other threads where this subject has been already discussed. Come on back with more questions.
