No luck with Fedora 15 either.

Hi, that is what I was afraid of, I am out of ideas my friend I am sorry I have not been able to solve this issue.
Thank you

Do you have a Windows partition? If so, does it work there?

[fishbulb1022]

Yes, Windows connects just fine. That's how I've been posting this whole time... lots of reboots.

[lkjoel]

Try this, but don't reboot yet:

sudo rmmod tg3
sudo modprobe broadcom
sudo modprobe tg3

See if it works

[fishbulb1022]

lkjoel, I tried running those commands, but they didn't seem to work.

[lkjoel]

OK, try this:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/tg3.conf

Then reboot and retry the commands in my previous post.
