Broadcom 43xx driver softmac working here on a 2004 Albook 15
I had to set 'iwconfig eth1 rate 11M' to even ping my router - it seems
that this card will not operate at full 54M speed.
DHCP does not seem to be working - I read reports of people running
scans before running dhclient eth1 but
I have found that scanning before dhcp is vital to having a working
bcm43xx interface. When I try to bring up my bcm43xx interface without
scanning (until I see a network) dhclient fails to get an IP address. If
I scan until I see my network dhclient works every time (well almost
every time).

Try not run dhclient directly. You can configure all you need in
/etc/network/interfaces:
For example:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe ..
post-up iwlist eth1 scan
post-up iwconfig eth1 rate 11M
post-up iwconfig eth1 essid ..

I tried this approach, it seems, at least from the behavior in my
ibook, that the commands with post-up run after the dhcp command. So
it still doesn't do the iwlist scanning before dhcp command.
I don't really understand why you all
well,
still no luck. kernel 2.6.15 without IEEE80211, with
softmac-snapshot, bcm43xx from checkouted from svn and still
the same problem :(

heh guys,
progress there.
here are me steps:
1. because i was running 2.6.15 I do
$rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.15-krachsna-2
2. configure kernel with IEEE80211
3. compile and install softmac-snapshot
4. compile and install bcm43xx
no progress
5. configure
Hi Milan,
I am using Airport wireless card on an iBook 12 G4 and I have managed
to get bcm43xx driver working both with WEP and WPA, using the default
debian kernel. I downloaded the softmac-snapshot and bcm43xx snapshots
(Jan 15, 2006 snapshots) and compiled the ieee80211 modules from the

Try dscape/bcm43xx. It needs only one second to get connected.

Hi,
I tried to make dscape+bcm43xx work and haven't succeeded. This is

I will give the dscape+bcm43xx route a try again
I have bcm43xx semi-reliably working on my iBook G4 12.
I am using 2.6.15.1 kernel, bcm43xx and softmac snapshots (from 15 Jan
06), some dodgy scripts and IEEE80211 compiled in the kernel as a module.

twoo diferent kernels 2.6.15-rc5 and 2.6.15.1 also your source
of bcm43xx and sofmac and no luck. When we can expect official
module in kernel?
thanks for your help and time Ruben :)
Hi Milan
i got curious after reading the posts by Ruben so
I experimented a
well i have got eventually the AirPort card working WITH WEP SECURITY ON!!!
should I only update bcm43xx and softmac source and WEP will
work form me?
i guess it was basically a driver issue cos using the latest bcm43xx driver
(actually bcm43xx-20060115.tar.bz) as welll as today's

Yes, I used the svn from bcm43xx (you could also use a snapshot) and a

Thanks. I will try waiting a few minutes after setting up the connection.
I timed it this morning, and it only worked after 4 minutes. It's
possible this has something to do with my access point.
