Hello,
I didn't actually subscribe to the bcm43 mailing list so I'm not
quite sure if anyone actually received the prior emails. Nor am I
convinced it is actually the domain of those working on the b43
firmware considering the fact that the exact same kernel compile and
modprobe configs are being used on the non-working ubuntu distribution
yet associate just fine while booting knoppix under the below
circumstances.
Any help/direction would be appreciated.

An inspiring new development. I boot the laptop with knoppix 5.3.1
utilizing kernel version 2.6.24.4, I mount the firmware for bcm43xx @ 2.6.24
on /lib/firmware and discover not only can I associate, I can utilize wep
and pull an ip. From there I copy the /boot/config and compile a 2.6.24-4
kernel with those options using gcc 4.2.4 (because of a reported bug with
gcc 4.3 and time.h) only to find that now card does not report ready ie:

any ideas/flames/help/suggestions would help from you guys
thanks again

Hi All,
I'm wondering where to get started debugging this issue, not a lot of
wifi experience... I have a laptop I inherited with no pcmcia slot and a
broadcom bcm4311 wifi chip. Whenever I try to associate to an access
point
with no encryption, the card associates, then shortly thereafter
disassociates stating reason 3 (as you'll see in the following dmesg)...
I
still haven't tracked down the reason 3 from the call to
ieee80211_sta_disassociate in mlme.c (I can't find what calls
ieee80211_ioctl_siwmlme).
but it seems to me that a ioctl call to disassociate must be stemming from
a state machine that decided something was wrong or missing that the
driver
should be providing/correcting..
any tips tricks ideas directions would be much appreciated...
