Hi, I have wifi card on BCM4318 chipset which is supported by b43 modules. Still it fails to associate with my wireless access point (open/no keys setup). I have another linux box which works fine with the access point using ipw2200 module. iwevent shows in a loop: 23:12:28.932580 wlan0 Scan request completed 23:12:28.932684 wlan0 Set Mode:Managed 23:12:28.941850 wlan0 Set Frequency:2.422 GHz (Channel 3) 23:12:28.941866 wlan0 Set ESSID:"Home2" iwconfig: wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"Home2" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:92:7E:1D:93 Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 iwlist finds the access point: wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:1A:92:7E:1D:93 ESSID:"Home2" Mode:Master Frequency:2.422 GHz (Channel 3) Channel:3 Quality=60/100 Signal level=-52 dBm Noise level=-51 dBm Encryption key:off Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s Extra:tsf=000000172559118a I have already tried vanila 2.6.24 and patch set 'everything' from wireless-dev.git, no luck. I have no idea how to get more debug info, to track down the problem. Is it know problem with the driver or should I try some tweaks? -- Thanks, Ivan p.s.
