Description Aleksander Kamil Modzelewski 2008-05-12 08:19:41 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm using a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with a Broadcom 4312 rev 1 wireless card in
a WEP (yeah, lame) environment. The wireless card never really associates with
an AP: it lists networks, but dhcp fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686

Ndiswrapper works.

Well that's a lot of b43 changes. And the bug is gone from it as well. Thanks.
