Hello,
I am trying to reuse an old HP zd7055ea laptop, which has a BCM4303 card. I am
using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic). It detected the card on its restricted drivers
manager, and installed it correctly. NetworkManager detects the card and lists
the detected APs.
But it doesn't connect, and then it asks me again for the password. The output
of dmesg shows this when trying to associate:
[ 326.516070] wlan0: direct probe to AP <AP mac> try 1
[ 326.716054] wlan0: direct probe to AP <AP mac> try 2
[ 326.916054] wlan0: direct probe to AP <AP mac> try 3
[ 327.116048] wlan0: direct probe to AP <AP mac> timed out
(... repeated dozens of times ...)
The AP is using WPA-PSK encryption, although I've already tried with WEP,
without any encryption, enabling b/g, only b, but everything gives the same result.
I also tried to compile fwcutter and download the firmware following the
instructions on the site, but I got the same.
The router itself is a Thomson SpeedTouch 565v6, which have been working without
any problems for long. I am using 2.6.31-19-generic kernel.
Maybe somebody can give me a clue on what should I try next? Thank you.
