Hi,
I have a laptop hp pavilion dv6110ca with bcm4311 wireless card. Three weeks ago it stopped working. I guess it’s dead because it doesn’t show up neither in windows nor in linux. It was the second time so I decided to buy d-link dwa-140 usb wireless adapter.
I’ve read the thread Getting Your Wireless to Work and did everything according to that threat. In YaST => Hardware => Hardware Information I see my usb wireless adapter and Kernel Driver is rt2870. When I checked /var/log/boot.msg I didn’t find any line with the word "firmware", but I found these lines:
Quote:
rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870
Error: Driver 'rt2870' is already registered, aborting...
usbcore: error -17 registering interface driver rt2870

Can that be a problem that I can’t get my wireless adapter connected?
I can see a lot of Access Points in my vicinity, but I can’t connect to any of them (some of them are open).
Thanks
