Hello, I might have a similar problem. Up until two days ago, I was able to access my hidden wifi network protected by WEP. Now I cannot connect, even though the nm applet reports other networks (none open so cannot try).
My network appears in the list but when I try to connect, I cannot. I do not know if this problem is due to a new kernel, a problem with the broadcom source code, the nm-applet, or a problem with blacklisting of the module, but I am willing to help. Knoppix Adrienne also has this problem with Broadcom-Sta and I've notified Klaus Knopper about this. # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth2 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Managementmode:All packets received Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=-89 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 vboxnet0 no wireless extensions. # lshw -C network *-network description: Wireless interface product: BCM4312 802.11b/g vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:04:00.0 logical name: eth2 version: 01 serial: 00:23:4e:c0:3b:f8 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=5.60.48.36 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq:18 memory:f4700000-f4703fff *-network description: Ethernet interface product: NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:07:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 02 serial: 00:23:5a:17:01:6e size: 100MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm vpd msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=tg3 driverversion=3.102 duplex=full firmware=sb v3.04 ip=192.168.100.150 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=100MB/s resources: irq:31 memory:f4600000-f460ffff *-network DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 1 logical name: vboxnet0 serial: 0a:00:27:00:00:00 capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes Thanks!
