I've installed kernel 2.6.17-rc6 and activited the bcm43xx-driver for my Broadcom-Chip in my notebook, also softmac, ... The wlan-driver is loaded successfully, I can set all parameters and so on. I also installed wpa_supplicant without problems. Authentication to my AP is not possible, the problem seems to be: ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT WPA: Failed to set PTK to the driver. So it seems that the bcm43xx-driver included in this kernel versions is not ok - I cannot connect to my AP using WPA.
