Thanks for the tip. Tried it and it seems to sort of work. If I select an AP without a lock from the list in the NetworkManager applet, Softmac seems to get stuck with this message in /var/log/messages: Jun 22 17:27:20 ws kernel: SoftMAC: cannot associate without being authenticated, requested authentication The networks that were present in the list are gone and do not come back. Restarting wpa_supplicant, NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher does not help. Stopping the above, unloading/loading bcm43xx and starting them again does not help either. The only thing I see in /var/log/messages is Jun 22 17:32:44 ws kernel: SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1 Jun 22 17:32:44 ws kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning 14 channels Jun 22 17:32:44 ws kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning finished Jun 22 17:32:44 ws kernel: SoftMAC: Unable to find matching network after scan! And the wifi networks that were initially found never come back. Don't think I've seen this issue with ndiswrapper. > Also, bcm43xx won't work without (proprietary) firmware, you have to get > bcm43xx-fwcutter from Extras and follow the instructions which come with it.
