Hello,
First I want to thank you for your work on the native support of broadcom chipsets under linux. Thanx!
Second I would like you to ask for help. I am using kernel 2.6.21 suspend2 sources r6 and I am able to connect to WEP protected AP. Now I tried to connect to WPA protected AP which I have in my house. Well not much luck. I am able to associate via wpa supplicant but only for short moment. Signal is sufficient I think becouse I am in 3m distance.

I'm testing b43 from wireless git. There is big progress over softmac. I'm sharing network with my friend and signal is weak. I couldn't connect with softmac version, only when i was at his place.
With mac80211 it connects in seconds and it is stable. Only speed doesn't go to max 125kilobytes like with ndiswrapper, max is about 50.
And powertop wakeups are much better than with ndiswrapper and bcm43xx. |

Hi, ALL,
The first page with the instructions to install this driver still refers to the MAC setup.
Is there a plan to update this with the 802.11 without MAC?
Thank you. |

If you're referring to the mac80211 port, then when it's accepted upstream (2.6.24 probably) I'll update the instructions. :) _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

I would like to inform that my dell truemobile 1400 mini-PCI
Code: |
akub jakub # lspci -n | grep 14e4:43
02:03.0 0280: 14e4:4324 (rev 02)

on kernel 2.6.22.2 is working like a charm witch no patches or something, even witch NetworkManager on WPA2-PSK AES secured network
so thanks for work to all developers
greetings, Jakub
but it works well only in b mode, in g mode it connects only at 24Mb/s but ping reply are at thousands of ms _________________ http://gps-y.pl/

hello people, i am having probs with my Airport card, it is a bcm4320 or so lspci tells me, i got the driver loading and all that but when i get to dring up wpa_supplicant i get this in dmesg
SoftMAC: sent association request!
SoftMAC: associating failed (reason: 0x13)!
found out thats to do with my router but all so been told this prob should of been fixed.
any idears? |

That's working as well as the bcm43xx driver is ever going to. However, the b43 driver has just been marked for inclusion in the 2.6.24 kernel. Once 2.6.24_rc1 is released, I'll update these instructions for the b43 driver. The b43 driver is the fork that uses the mac80211 stack instead of the SoftMAC stack and also basically has been the development version of bcm43xx for the past few kernel releases. I'm happy to report that the bcm4318 works quite well with the new stack/driver, approaching OSX speeds and signal strength. :) _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

I git-cloned wireless-dev last night. But there seems to be no b43 driver. What am I doing wrong? |

You need to switch to the "everything" branch of wireless-dev for b43.
As for a tutorial, I will write instructions when 2.6.24_rc1 is released. b43 has been pulled for inclusion, so it will definitely be in 2.6.24. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

Thanks for the help. After some trying it worked. I also installed b43-fwcutter. Is it still necessary to use wpa_supplicant with the new stack? |

Well, it was never required if you didn't want to use WPA networks. But if you do, then yes, wpa_supplicant is still required. The stack functionally is similar to SoftMAC, just much more robust and future-proof. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

Of course I want to use WPA
The supplicant works like it did with Softmac before, but it gives an error on start:
Code: |
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ]uth param 5 value 0x1 -
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
|
This occurs with the stable as well as with the unstable version from portage. |

That card is a brand new revision. We've only just learned about it about a week ago. It requires new firmware and a whole bunch of other changes. Until we figure out what's needed and document it, it's unsupported, sorry. |
Has there been any change with the 4311 Rev 02 card? Will this card be supported in 2.6.24? _________________ madCoder <madCoder@gamesurge.net>

No, current work has been focused on getting the b43 driver ready for mainline. For already supported cards, this means better transfer rates and better TX power, along with greater stability and functionality. Once this work is completed (for .24) we can start looking into the new PHYs. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

hello, I have an 4311 card
lspci: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART (rev 01)
I've tried the driver a couple of months ago and it didnt worked, I want to know what is the current status under kernel 2.6.22-r8
how it the support of wpa?

It works fine for lots of people. Try it and see. The version included in the upcoming 2.6.24 kernel will offer the best performance. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

|
|
Hi!
I recently tried to install 2007.0 on an imac G5 which has a BCM4306 Rev03 (or so lspci reports)
I'm experiencing some problems with the wireless and after a couple of days I have run out of ideas.
In short, the bcm43xx driver is working nicely, but the performance is being terrible.
With kernel 2.6.21 (-r4) it starts working great (up to 300KB/s) but after some seconds it drops to speeds of 1-10KB
With kernel 2.6.22 (-r5) it always works at speeds of just 1-10KB.
Changing the device speed via iwconfig eth1 rate has no effect.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Googling didn't return any similar cases to me..
Configuration is either manual or via wpa_supplicant. Both cases give the same result
Here is a dmesg output of what I see during operation.
This is with a 2.6.21 kernel, unpatched (the ftp seems to be currently down??)

The last set of messages repeats every couple of seconds.
With kernel 2.6.22 I see the same set of messages.
Reloading the bcm43xx module or restarting wpa_supplicant has no special effect:
i.e. with 2.6.21 I get some seconds of high speed while 2.6.22 always stays at just 1-10 KB
I hope you can give me advice as to what to try next.
I'm a little desperate already
In case it is helpful I also post the ieee80211 softmac and bcm43xx module loading section from dmesg

As for a tutorial, I will write instructions when 2.6.24_rc1 is released. b43 has been pulled for inclusion, so it will definitely be in 2.6.24. |
There is a way to add b43 as a module to kernel 2.6.22 or 2.6.23?
I'm searching since yesterday but I can't find... _________________ Marco

dracula1985:
Nope, get 2.6.24 when it's available.
izzu:
That's a more recent 4306. We've had some reports of issues with speed on really early 4306 boards, but not with those. I'd also try again with 2.6.24 when it's available, the new b43 driver should help with your speed/reliability issues. The simple rate transitioning algorithm included with b43 should also help with reliability, especially under low signal strength conditions. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |
