Description Steve Butler 2007-06-06 03:40:23 UTC
Description of problem: I cant associate with any AP using the ndiswrapper
driver. It will attepmt to connect then time out


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
it never works. So, highly reproducable


Steps to Reproduce:

2. test to make sure card/driver work
3. use NetworkManager to connect to a network. 
4. it times out and fails
  
Actual results:
wont connect

Expected results:

I also have this issue.

Comment 2 Daniel Moree 2007-06-06 18:52:03 UTC
Same here, I've also experienced this same thing with the BCM43xx_mac80211
module with my Broadcom card. Have tested this using the BCM43xx_mac80211 module
with an intel wireless card and Network manager works fine. Seems isolated to
ndiswrapper and broadcom cards on bcm43xx_mac80211

Same problem for me using bcm43xx_mac80211 and ndiswrapper.

bcm43xx_mac80211 syslog NetworkManager cutting attached.

same problems here... 
i also have a bcm4318 chip.. with fc6 everything worked fine with ndiswrapper

Comment 5 Klaus Möllenhoff 2007-06-10 09:54:45 UTC
with new ndiswrapper from livna it works

Comment 6 Martin Jürgens 2007-06-10 10:37:42 UTC
great! maybe the bcm43xx-mac80211 issue is a driver problem, also and we shall
report a bug against the kernel.

i, personally, can't connect with wlassistant, either.

Comment 7 Daniel Moree 2007-06-10 16:47:17 UTC
I will confirm what Klaus said. I have downloaded the latest update of
ndiswrapper from livna, previously v1.43, now v1.46, does work with Network Manager.
