After the kernel update to 3.17.1-1-ARCH, I can view a list of wireless
networks but not connect to any. Both GNOME network manager and wicd-gtk
say "Connecting..." then without an error message change to "Not
Connected".
Here is the dmesg output that occurs when trying to connect to a
wireless network, with my router hardware address redacted:
[ 1363.980448] wlp4s0: authenticate with [redacted]
[ 1364.066378] wlp4s0: send auth to [redacted] (try 1/3)

[ 1364.073798] wlp4s0: RX AssocResp from [redacted] (capab=0x411
status=0 aid=2)
[ 1364.073869] wlp4s0: associated
[ 1364.073927] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp4s0: link becomes ready
[ 1364.074029] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
[ 1369.624786] wlp4s0: deauthenticating from [redacted] by local choice
(Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)
Here is the exact model of the card, and other information from lspci if
it is helpful:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228
802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]
Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0607]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at f2500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number [redacted]
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: bcma, wl
I do not know why "wl" is listed as an available module because I
uninstalled broadcom-wl already.
I am using the b43 driver, along with b43-firmware from Arch Linux AUR,
but broadcom-wl does not work either (same issue where I can view
networks but not connect). Everything worked before I updated my kernel.
It also may be interesting that on startup, I get this dmesg output:
Broadcom BCM4359 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.248
(r487574)
however my card is BCM43228 not BCM4359.
Here is the output of `lsmod | grep b43`:
b43 410153 0
mac80211 604456 1 b43
ssb 65506 1 b43
rng_core 12808 1 b43
pcmcia 53108 2 b43,ssb
cfg80211 445286 2 b43,mac80211
led_class 12859 2 b43,thinkpad_acpi
bcma 45915 1 b43
mmc_core 110434 3 b43,ssb,rtsx_pci_sdmmc
I am connected by Ethernet right now but would prefer to use wireless.
My distribution is Arch Linux.
Thank you for any help.
