Bcm94311 Mcg Wlan Mini-pci

#1 (**permalink**) 08-May-2008, 17:55

Hi to everyone,
I just installed a new version of openSuse 10.3 on my laptop
the great thing is that my BCM94311 MCG wlan mini-PCI is getting immediately recognized and getting listed in my network devices (not like with my other laptop where with another hardware card it wasn't getting recognized)

but I can't manage to make the system find any networks or to connect to my home wireless network.
I tried connecting directly using ESSID and WEP key of my home, or trying to find available connections also using KDE wireless manager.
But there is no way to make it connect nor find networks.

Anyone experienced something similar?

You need to upgrade to a new kernel. They released a patch which is now part of kernel 2.6.25+ that fixes that bug.
