I am still trying the bcm43xx_mac80211 driver. Using the NetworkManager I cannot
connect to the network I have access to, with ifup wlan0 (with the edited
modprobe.conf to have alias wlan0 bcm43xx_mac80211 set) same error as in my
previous message (quoted above) and no luck with connection (and yes, I set the
wlan0 device settings in network manager correctly). Any ideas? Tomorrow I plan
to try out the bcm43xx driver to see if thinks go better with it. I'll let you
know the result.
Well, and one another thing: output of iwconfig:
# iwconfig wlan0
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Is the warning worth noticing or is it OK? Can it cause some of the problems I have?
Thanks,
Martin
