Can confirm that this bug still persists using a clean install of Hardy 8.04 beta, after applying all updates available as of 2000 UTC 22/03/2008.
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 500m laptop using Broadcom 4306 wireless card:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -nn | fgrep Broadcom 01:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 02) On first boot, suitable firmware was not present, and I was not prompted by the restricted devices manager. Used "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" to get and extract firmware. Following this, the driver claims to be working:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | fgrep b43 [ 90.815294] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27) [ 97.314665] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0:tx [ 97.315141] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0:rx [ 227.125221] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Chip initialized [ 227.126611] b43legacy-phy0 debug: 30-bit DMA initialized [ 227.127645] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started [ 227.133624] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 [ 968.018948] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Removing Interface type 2 [ 968.021628] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Wireless interface stopped [ 968.021723] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0260 (RX) max used slots: 1/64 [ 968.021810] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0200 (RX) max used slots: 1/64 [ 968.021917] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x02A0 (TX) max used slots: 0/128 [ 968.031654] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0280 (TX) max used slots: 0/128 [ 968.037434] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0260 (TX) max used slots: 0/128 [ 968.039134] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0240 (TX) max used slots: 0/128 [ 968.046624] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0220 (TX) max used slots: 2/128 [ 968.050723] b43legacy-phy0 debug: DMA-32 0x0200 (TX) max used slots: 0/128 [ 968.051957] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Radio initialized [ 968.052106] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Radio initialized [ 419.357337] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27) [ 419.360620] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0:tx [ 419.361095] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0:rx [ 419.367056] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Chip initialized [ 419.367844] b43legacy-phy0 debug: 30-bit DMA initialized [ 419.368346] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started [ 419.374583] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 NetworkManager can then correctly probe networks, but cannot connect: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# NetworkManager --no-daemon NetworkManager: <info> starting...

If it's relevant, bcm43xx never worked properly for me -- it was always exceptionally slow. Maybe the wl_apsta firmware isn't suitable for this card revision? -- bcm4306 doesn't work with b43 / ssb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
