I have a broadcom 4306 rev 02. Works fine with WPA2 in Windows 7. In
Ubuntu 9.10, using the b43legacy firmware, I am able to connect to my
WPA2 network but the connection is intermittent at best. The speed
changes constantly and usually after about 5 minutes it times out in
which case I have to
FYI, I have just tested WPA2 on Windows XP on this laptop and it
connects fine, so the hardware is capable of connecting to WPA2.
I have a multi-boot setup and XP connects fine every time, but Ubuntu
8.10 etc. never connects. This particular test was of the Ubuntu 8.10
that I have permanently
@Chris Jackson
I have just retested WPA2 (not WPA+WPA2) on 8.10. I cannot connect with WPA2.
I can connect just fine with WPA. I even tried forcing AES or TKIP with WPA2.
No dice. I have an RT2860 PCCARD that I test with in this same laptop and it
connects fine to either WPA or WPA2
I am able to run Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-9-generic and ndiswrapper
1.53 with a BCM 4306 (rev 02) in an old compaq presario. I can connect
well with excellent data rates but only with WEP security.
Can't connect with WPA or WPA2. I can enable WPA or WPA2 separately on the
access point, but
I have had similar problems connecting with an HP 2517cl with the
BCM4322 - I am running Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-8.17 and ndiswrapper
1.52-1ubuntu1.
After reading the workaround above to disable WPA/WPA2 on the
accesspoint and use only WPA, I when to my AP ( a Belkin G ) and and
found only an

All facets of problem recreated with 8.10 Intrepid release:
- Native driver for bcm4306 rev 2 wifi (ssb/b43legacy) is _severely_ crippled.
It averages 75k bytes per second with many stalls as tested with scp.
- Ndiswrapper/bcmwl5 (built in Broadcom 4306 rev 2 hardware) will not connect
to a

Bugs,
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION JUST DETERMINED...
(sorry for the caps but it is that important)
Disable WPA2 in your wifi access point and enable just WPA and then your
ndiswrapper/bcm4306rev2 problems will go away. (I had my wifi access
point set up to allow both WPA and WPA2.)
Ndiswrapper with
great information Cliff. i too have the BCM4306 rev 2 and cannot get
it to work in intrepid using the b43legacy in the restricted drivers
manager. very sad, this laptop has never been able to function with its
internal wifi and ubuntu. i will hope that this will someday be fixed,
but i'm
Tested Intrepid Beta (live version).
- I purchased a different PCCARD Wifi card (RT2680 based) and it works well
with ndiswrapper, proving that this regression is one that is limited to the
BCM4306 rev 2 (and possibly related) hardware. I recall in much older versions
of Ubuntu that the
The only work-around I have found is to disable WPA. I went to a
completely open system with no auth and no encryption and it worked.
iwconfig wlan0 essid x mode managed does not help.
