I followed this

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Broadcom_43xx

My card is a Broadcom BCM4312.

After dmesg says wlan0 is associated, it deauthenticates due to reason 15, which apparently is a timeout of the "four-way handshake".

The thing is the OS it had before which was debian based worked, so it can't be an "unavailable" driver thingy, I'm making some mistake somewhere.

I got a BCM4312. Only Fedora 14 have been able to drive correctly this wireless card with b43 module. Fedora 14 use 2.6.35 kernel version. I tried with Fedora 15, kernel 2.6.38 version. I get deauthentification like I get with Debian and ArchLinux. After a successfull scan and authentification, it deauthentificate and no scan is possible anymore until ifconfig down and up the card. Do not loose your time trying to make b43 work. Try hybride Broadcom-Sta driver. It work.

It doesn't. I can't even scan with it.

This is what I found.

http://www.broadcom.com/supporta/802.11/linux_sta.php

I followed the readme. If I have to compile my fucking kernel again...
Also, the one in portage is broken due to a needed patch for linux-2.6.37 and above. The link has the needed patch

Now it can scan but it doesn't connect either, unless I'm missing something.

There has to be a solution, I mean it worked on the linux-thing on it before. It could be recent kernel breakage, but I really don't know.

broadcom-sta wl.ko driver is not able to set regulatory domain. It is hard coded international channels 1-11.
You could rename /sbin/crda and
ln -s /bin/true /sbin/crda

xtlosx ... ignore ulenrich, his assumption is that everyone is running ~arch (and so have net-wireless/crda).

The "reason 15" is a "4-way handshake timeout", this may be due to what your providing in wpa_supplicant.conf, the pre-shared key being incorrect (hex is expected but ascii is provided, or maximum length 63 chars is quoted and the first quote is read as the first char), eapol_version= (defaults to 1 .. but you may be defining 2) ... or many other reasons, of which I can only guess given the lack of info.

best ... khay

Hi there, thanks for responding... my config looks as such...

Code:

# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0

# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1

# Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted
#network={
#  ssid="DYNOMYTE"
#  proto=WPA
#  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#  pairwise=CCMP TKIP
#  group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
#  psk=a820ccb9bb6298497f197876fec033ef786526e24422632588ae7ea551cf1a71
#  priority=2
#}

network={
  ssid="DYNOMYTE54G"
  proto=WPA
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  pairwise=TKIP
  group=TKIP
  psk=eedb65df3854b7ad7505126fbf613a804c3a0681b2a83062d67ecd15a8562c6f
  priority=2
}



Anything out of the ordinary there?

xtlosx ...

your best not to post your psk in forums ;) ... as for your question, it depends on what the AP supports, can you post the output of the following:

Code:
# awk '{RS="Cell"}/DYNOMYTE54G/' <(iwlist wlan0 scan)

Also, how was the PSK generated? If it was via wpa_passphrase was the correct ESSID used?

Yes, the passphrase here was converted using the wpa command...

xtlosx ... ok, the above network={} would seem fine. As for the psk ... can you test with the ascii, ie:

Code:
psk="your_pass_in_ascii" # in quotes
