David Woodhouse suggested setting the rate to 11M. This works for me if I am using iwconfig. NetworkManager seems to want to set the rate back to the default (54M) no matter what I do. Is this a NM bug or is there some way to change the default? sounds like it. The problems with 54M are known upstream, and will get worked out at some point. regardless of whether 54M works though, NM shouldn't change the settings if the user knows better than it does. NM is a GNOME application. GNOME users aren't allowed to know better. Closing. The bcm43xx driver in 2.6.16-1.2070_FC5 and later should default to 11M, even when NetworkManager resets it. NetworkManager isn't setting the rate explicitly to 54M; it's just resetting it to the driver's default. |
Description of problem: bcm43xx fails to associate with AP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.1819_FC5 How reproducible: Always (for me). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to associate with your WEP-enabled AP: ip link set eth0 up iwconfig eth0 enc your-wep-key-here iwconfig eth0 essid your-essid-here 2. dhclient eth0 Actual results: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval {6, 10, ...} SoftMAC: Authentication timed out with <access point MAC> SoftMAC: cannot associate without being authenticated, requested authentication Expected results: Association and DHCP lease acquisition.
