<div dir="ltr">Omri, If you cannot access to the access point or cannot see it, try update the kernel "yum update kernel*" , then install these two packages broadcom-wl kmod-wl.

I'm running FC 10 on a Lenovo 3000 C100 laptop with a Broadcomm 4318 wireless driver. A problem developed today that shows as follows in dmesg: fuse init (API version 7.9) wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1f:33:c7:2d:c6 wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:1f:33:c7:2d:c6 wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1f:33:c7:2d:c6 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=3) wlan0: associated ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready b43-phy0 debug: Removing Interface type 2 b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface stopped b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 rx_ring: Used slots 1/64, Failed frames 0/0 = 0.0%, Average tries 0.00 b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 tx_ring_AC_BK: Used slots 0/128, Failed frames 0/0 = 0.0%, Average tries 0.00 b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 tx_ring_AC_BE: Used slots 2/128, Failed frames 0/5 = 0.0%, Average tries 1.20 b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 tx_ring_AC_VI: Used slots 0/128, Failed frames 0/0 = 0.0%, Average tries 0.00 b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 tx_ring_AC_VO: Used slots 2/128, Failed frames 0/2 = 0.0%, Average tries 1.00 b43-phy0 debug: DMA-32 tx_ring_mcast: Used slots 0/128, Failed frames 0/0 = 0.0%, Average tries 0.00 input: b43-phy0 as /devices/virtual/input/input11 b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) b43-phy0 debug: Chip initialized b43-phy0 debug: 32-bit DMA initialized Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready This happens when I try to bring the interface up first time after booting. That is, it finds the local network, associates with the access point, and tries DHCP, and then instantly drops out. I'm wondering if it's the chip dying, since Google doesn't show any other cases like this. So, anyhow, here are the kernel details: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 19:03:24 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Anyone seen anything like this?
