Problem to reinstall wlan - no ESSID

[heriloh]

Hi,

I need help as I can't get my wlan running, although it already worked on my notebook (Dell Inspiron 1545) with opensuse 11.1
Then I installed debian and, I don't know how, it changed my kernel in grub from .pae to .debug (renameing in grub didn't help)

According to the messages scanning fails

my wlan-controller is:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
Router is avm Fritz!Box and is working fine with other notebooks and the lan of the Dell

I loaded down and installed the driver from Bradcom (hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.10.91.9.3.tar.gz)

lsmod |grep wl
wl 1275692 0
ieee80211_crypt 5308 2 ieee80211_crypt_tkip,wl

dmesg came up with a failure: not ipv6 server found - so I deactivated it

below please find further info

would really be nice, if somebody has an idea, because I don't have anymore. I do see the warning in the log below, but don't know how to handle it.

thks & regards
