[Bug 182716] Re: bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentification with AP doesn't work.

2008-05-23 Thread chris_eineke
I'll chime with another me too. BCM4306 rev.03 doesn't work. Doesn't
show networks in KNetworkManager, doesn't connect to manually configured
AP. It's screwed up. Is anybody actively working on this bug? It makes
Kubuntu-on-the-laptop much less usable... :-(

After my last report, I removed all packages associated with 
broadcom4306 and then re-installed from source following the 
instructions at http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
Since then my wireless has been working better than any time since I 
installed hardy (beta4), not dropping out much at all. However, I'm 
still only getting 1mb/s.

The driver is automatically choosing b43 and not b43-legacy.

2008-05-06 Thread naught101
Interestingly, my wireless fails completely now. I think this might be
since the last kernel upgraded (to 2.6.24-17). Knetwork manager
recognises that the device exists, however it won't find any networks,
regardless of what I do. As soon ad I modprobe either b43 OR bcm43xx,
knetworkmanager recognises that there's a device:

Hi.

I'd like to confirm the issue with the Asus-based bcm4318 card as
already described in full length above. Some details follow, but nothing
new which has not already been told.


Using a fresh installation of Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 531.

knetworkmanager now recognizes the card as eth1 and is able to associate with 
my AP (using WPA and everything).
Adding bcm43xx to /etc/modules does not resolve the issue during startup, I 
have to load the module by hand after the boot process in order to get it 
working. Seems to relate to the Asus hacks which Anmar talks about in 
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182716/comments/80 
Comment 80] and the possible workaround modprobe'ing b43 in between and the 
using bcm43xx to get the card working at all.

2008-04-26 Thread Olivier B
@krop
I had the same problem as Jimmey described. My broadcom 4306 v03 was working 
under Gutsy (probably with bcm43xx), and then I did as suggested 
- Blacklisted b43 and ssb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
- authorized bcm43xx
- reinstalled the bcm43xx-firmware
reboot; wireless did not work

then with b43 and ssb still blacklisted I did
sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx
sudo modprobe bcm43xx
still a no go

and then as he suggested afterward
sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx
sudo modprobe b43
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe bcm43xx

this time it started - I am actually posting with the wireless ;)

This is a bad method, is there a workaround?

Actually not. b43 being blacklisted it isn't loaded at startup (I verified
it)

On the contrary I unload bcm43xx
load b43
unload b43
and then load again bcm43xx

It seems to me that b43 does some kind of initialisation which allows iwlist
scanning to work but not to associate with an AP. Then by reloading bcm43xx
I can associate with AP

That is what is bug report is talking about.

We *know* bcm43xx is working... bcm43xx is now deprecated and will be removed 
in future kernels. 
The way you load or unload b43 or bcm43xx is irrelevant. The problem remains 
the same : some wireless cards are unable to associate  with their AP in kernel 
2.6.24.

Unfortunately, that's not the actual stable kernel but the one shipped
with Ubuntu Hardy.

[Bug 182716] Re: bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentification with AP doesn't work.

2008-04-24 Thread Jimmey
Originally, I had the same problem - Dmesg reported that with b43 and
the correct firmware installed, using network-manager to try to connect
to my WPA protected network, the attempts to associate with the access
point would repeatedly time out.

Using Hardy Heron with 2.6.24-16-generic kernel.

Here's my card info:

00:0a.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g 
Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Linksys Unknown device [1737:0013]

Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- 
MAbort- SERR- PERR-
Latency: 32
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
Region 0: Memory at ea01 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

My solution was to, as has been suggested before, blacklist b43 and ssb, and 
modprobe bcm43xx. The steps I took are as follows:
Replaced the firmware files from a successful bcm43xx-fwcutter run that I knew 
from previous experience would work to /lib/firmware; 
(Notice that the difference between bcm43xx and b43-fwcutters is quite 
important);
I blacklisted b43 and ssb, and unblacklisted bcm43xx while I was there (I used 
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist);
Re-started, network-manager reported no wireless devices, so I just 
un-installed it;
Wrote my /etc/network/interfaces file by hand;
Then using ifup I brought the card up, and it works fairly okay - I not reached 
peak speed with it yet, but it's yet to drop packets or anything.

2008-04-24 Thread Jimmey
Sorry for the double post, didn't figure out how to (if it's possible)
edit a comment.

Something pretty strange just happened to me.

I got the connection working fine - as posted above - so I restarted the
computer.

It came back up and the wlan0 was missing.

I tried all  kinds of combinations of things, before finally 
sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx
sudo modprobe bcm43xx

worked.

What does that mean? Does that mean that it has to be loaded AFTER the
initial boot process to work? Is there any way that I could automate
that?

If you don't need b43 nor ssb, blacklist them both. Only bcm43xx will be loaded.

2008-04-21 Thread Anmar Oueja
Hello Guys:

I did some sniffing around the B43 mailing list and found a lengthy
thread about the ASUS WL-138G v2, which uses Broadcom Corporation
BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev2).

It seems that Asus mucked with the registers (sorry if I am using the
wrong wording).  There is a patch for 2.6.26 kernel but it is more of
detect this ID then do something specific.. What it boils down to is
that Asus enabled some Bluetooth interference trigger that is causing
B43 kernel module to freak out and that is why it is timing out.

Here it he patch for whoever is interested. Just remember, it is for
2.6.26 kernel  http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-
dev/2008-April/007330.html. Also the entire thread if very interesting
and worth a read.  You can get it here
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-April/007312.html

I am not going to fart around with this card any more. I will go and get
me a simpler card for about $25 bucks cause it sounds like ASUS messed
this card up.

[Bug 182716] Re: bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentification with AP doesn't work.

2008-04-12 Thread livewire
Hi guys,

I think I have the same bug here.

My details:
* 8.04 Hardy Beta (installed 2 weeks ago or so) with updates to now (April 12 
11pm GMT +1)
* Kernel: Linux xxx 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 
x86_64 GNU/Linux (2.6.24-12 and 2.6.24-15 weren't working either)
* 04:04.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)
* Installed b43-fwcutter and run 
/usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh manually (checked file 
perms)
* module b43 loaded (this is the one recommended by the b43 developers. See: 
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/faq#Q.3AI.27mconfusedaboutthisb43.2BAC8-b43legacybusiness.WhichonedoIneed.3F)
* Tried setup with NM and manually
* Used to work with gutsy (not flawlessly but it did)
* I can see the AP with
  $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

2008-04-10 Thread anmar
Hello:

I have an ASUS WL-138G V2 PCI wireless card with the following lspci
stamp:

02:07.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

When I load B43 (have the b43-fwcutter) firmware all installed, I keep
getting the dreaded:

Apr 10 14:19:29 hero kernel: [  115.595095] wlan0: authenticate with AP 
00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:29 hero kernel: [  115.794734] wlan0: authenticate with AP 
00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:30 hero kernel: [  115.994576] wlan0: authenticate with AP 
00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:30 hero kernel: [  116.194421] wlan0: authentication with AP 
00:06:25:f6:ed:f8 timed out

after trying WEP, WPA2 Personal and open network, I decided to go back
to BCM43xxx (old driver).  I installed the firware and now my card works
fine over an open network.  WEP secured network is really slow.

This is much better than B43 kernel module.  BTW, I removed b43 and ssd
modules.

Kernel using is:

Linux hero 2.6.24-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Apr 8 00:33:51 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux

This was a fresh install from the Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Beta CD with
all the updates as of 22:49 UTC (April 10)

Hope this helps
