bcm4318 not working on my powerbook
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:14 EST
Description of problem: I have the following card 0001:10:11.0 0280: 14e4:4318 (rev 02) 0001:10:11.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) It will respond to iwlist wlan0 scanning and shows everything properly, but NetworkManager and manually configuring the device with iwconfig does not work properly, it will not associate with my AP (note that I've only tried with WEP AP's at this point, my box just stopped crashing alot so I will try with a non WEP AP tonight). When NetworkManager starts I get a traceback and I'm getting an error and a traceback every couple of minutes. I will provide my dmesg so you can see that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23-0.129.rc3.git4.fc8 #1 Wed Aug 22 01:26:42 EDT 2007 ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux The firmware I got was from a website (off of a gentoo forum somewhere) broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0 the WHERE_FROM file shows this [root@localhost broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0]# cat WHERE_FROM From the Linksys WRT350N v1.03.2 GPL release
Created attachment 172368 [details] dmesg
alright turns out I can connect to an open wireless network, and I want to blame knetworkmanager for not prompting me for my WEP, so as far as my wireless working I think I'm good, however those tracebacks bother me a bit so I'm still going to leave the bz open.
The "Invalid LO control pair" is debugging garbage. Be sure to try the latest rawhide or 77.fc7 -- I think that has been recently changed/removed. Anyway, they are harmless, so I'm going to go ahead and close this since you seem to be working.
