Hi!
I've read this discussion and read the wiki entry for the b43 driver. my card just runs with the b43legacy driver but it's up and running and i can see my neighbours wirelesses.
anyway, when i try to connect to my wpa1 secured wireless i get the following error message:
| Code: | ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - Trying to associate with SSID 'Netzwerk'
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 -
|
i'm using this conf file:
| Code: |
# This is a network block that connects to any unsecured access point.
# We give it a low priority so any defined blocks are preferred.
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2
update_config=1
network={
ssid="Netzwerk"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk="my_key"
priority=1
}
|
however i can't get it working. any ideas, what's wrong?
thx!

I haven't been able to get the braodcom drivers working yet, but I have ndiswrapper working on kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r9. I used the wpa gui to connect to a wpa protected network and it produced a few different options that are not in your config. I'll paste it below. Have you tried the gui to configure your network?
| Code: |
network={
ssid="DarkCrystal"
psk="EssenceOfGelfling"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP WEP104 WEP40
}

Cheers. |

Posting your card series BCMxxx, kernel and used firmware would make easier our lives 
BTW b43 doesn't work quite good with earlier kernels. Look at their home page. 2.6.24 should work
but latest firmware versions require higher kernels (ie. 2.6.25.x).

I'd just like to throw out a thank you for this thread, as it has helped me get a BCM4318 PCMCIA card working in 2.6.26-r4.
The error about Operation not permitted I was able to fix by changing my firewall (iptables) settings to allow the wireless card to send and receive data (I hadn't unblocked it yet since it wasn't working before).
Oh, and for others that use a Passphrase for WEP: use the hex key generated from the passphrase, and if you aren't sure about which key to use pick wep_key_0 (or if you only have one key listed in the router).

Hi people,

I try with howto with different firmwares, but they all not works.
