Public bug reported:
Using ndiswrapper and bcmwl5, computer connects to network after
booting, but cannot reconnect after suspend or hibernate.
HP Compaq nx6125, Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI
Express Transceiver (rev 02),
ndiswrapper 1.38-1ubuntu1, knetworkmanager 0.1-0ubuntu12, network-manager
0.6.4-6ubuntu7 on kubuntu feisty withh all
suggested upgrades. ndiswrapper bcmwl5 - AMBIT G (Broadcom solution) Wireless
LAN driver (T60H906.00)" for XP-64BIT version 3.100.64.0.
I have been using this bcmwl5 driver for a long time with various versions of
Fedora and Mandriva with no problems (I think it was originally for an ACER
computer)
Using WPA2 encryption.
After resume, KNetworkManager appears to reconnect - wpa_cli status
shows COMPLETED, and after a while gkrellm shows network connected for
about a second. Then the network disconnects and pops up a password
dialogue. dhclient and wpa_supplicant are no longer running. Re-entering
passphrase repeats the above.
The system works correctly with the bcm43xx driver instead of
ndiswrapper, but only at 11M.
This bug has some similarities with bug #85468, so I tried the solution
suggested there:
iwconfig eth1 essid MYESSID mode Managed
/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart
but this did not help.
After resume could stop NetworkManager, unload ndiswrapper and replace it with
bcm43xx and KNetworkManager would automatically reconnect after I restarted
NetworkManager.
So I have gone back to bcm43xx, but would like the 54M speed of
ndiswrapper if anyone has a solution.
