After doing a patch to get it to compile, I installed wl.ko
from the older version:
broadcom-sta_5.10.91.9.3.orig.tar.gz
without changing anything else from the constructed rpm.
I now get resulis from:
ip link
and the beginniongs of a connection. But I get:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Yes, twice. Googing around I see that this is an old problem.
I tried fiddling with the password. Sometimes the password
is echoed in the error report, and sometimes not. I even tried
a hex password. Nothing worked.
More suggestions, or perhaps a better driver, would be
much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.
