        Kernel driver in use: wl

Now this was working perfectly, but now it isn’t. I have the Packman broadcom wireless drivers

broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-7.pm.13.1.x86_64
broadcom-wl-kmp-default-5.60.48.36_2.6.31.12_0.1-7.pm.13.1.x86_64


uname -a
Linux linux-g5gi 2.6.31.12-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-01-27 08:20:11 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Am I correct in thinking the driver shown above in the lspci output (wl) is NOT correct and it should be (b43)? Or something like that?

I had it working using Network Manager, DHCP and WPA
Now it tries and fails to connect
If I add my IP settings manually it connects to my router and pings to it fine, but NOT the outside world. No settings have changed - but there have been updates of course.

Thanks for advices:)[/size]

I updated the kernel and same issue, though I don’t need packmans drivers now

Router was the problem
Factory reset and re-enter all my settings and I’m good.
Here ends the lesson:shame:
