Hi,
I have a fresh install of FC10 on a Dell XPS laptop with a Broadcom
network controller (from lspci):
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
My kernel is 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686.PAE, and I installed the
following rpms without incident:
broadcom-wl-5.10.79.10-1.fc10.noarch.rpm
kmod-wl-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686.PAE-5.10.79.10-2.fc10.i686.rpm
kmod-wl-PAE-5.10.79.10-2.fc10.i686.rpm
I can see eth1 in system-config-network, and I set the various controls
to defaults that have worked on an older laptop running FC10, resulting in
ifcfg-eth1:
# Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:24:2b:93:2b:6b
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
MODE=Auto
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
RATE='54 Mb/s'
ESSID=gadzooks
SEARCH=opendns.com
DNS1=208.67.222.222
DNS2=208.67.220.220
CHANNEL=
Using iwlist eth1 scan, I can see a dozen access points, including mine. But
I can't make a connection. The system log tells the story:
Apr 10 23:03:24 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 6
Apr 10 23:03:30 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 10
Apr 10 23:03:40 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 13
Apr 10 23:03:53 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 16
Apr 10 23:04:09 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 9
Apr 10 23:04:18 host-148 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 7
Apr 10 23:04:25 host-148 dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
There is one other odd thing; on the iwlist scan, my access point comes up twice,
once with the correct MAC, and once with some other MAC I can't identify. I've never
seen that before.
So near, yet so far! Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
