Public bug reported:
I have a BCM4322 Broadcom wireless device running on Ubuntu 8.10 w.
linux kernel 2.6.27-9-generic. Using Network-manager I'm able to connect
to an Ad-hoc network using WEP passphrase, however I cannot create an
Ad-hoc network. To exclude the possibility of a bug in Network-manager I
removed network-manager and avahi, installed firestarter, dhcp-server
and set an Ad-hoc network in /etc/network/interfaces. It doesn't work.
This is what I get:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
Access Point: Not-Associated
and typing "iconfig" I can see TX errors in the eth1 interface
associated with the wireless card.
I had the same problem in another computer with a BCM4311 Broadcom wireless
device. There, I was able to solve by installing ndiswrapper and using a
Windows XP driver. This shows that my networking settings do work. However,
with the BCM4322 I cannot make ndiswrapper to work.
I'm including my Ad-hoc network-settings that work well with ndiswrapper
in case someone needs to test.
