f11alpha on Lenovo S10

[potat0]

I've had a nagging issue on my Lenovo S10 netbook for a while and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.  Until very recently, the last bootable kernel was

2.6.29-0.74.rc3.git3.fc11.i686

Noticing that all the subsequent kernels were ".i586", I installed the latest "kernel-PAE" which, at the time was

2.6.29-0.159.rc6.git3.fc11.i686

This (along with the very lastest, .176) boots and seems to run fine.  However, I haven't been able to get the Broadcom wireless working since the 2.6.29-0.74 kernel.  The following packages are installed:

akmod-wl.i686
broadcom-wl.noarch
kmod-wl

Any help or direction with this will be *greatly* appreciated.

PS: After the latest *huge* rawhide update, there also seems to be some problem with fonts in Firefox and Thunderbird - but since it's somewhat irrelevant until the wireless issue is resolved, I'll save that for another time.

Does it look like the screenshots in there :

If yes, please try to downgrade nspr.

Thanks to François Cami, downgrading nspr solves the font problem.  Now if I could just get the Broadcom wireless and kernel issues figured out!

You might want to ask on the rpmfusion lists, they maintain the Broadcom driver.
