Hi,
when i power on my netbook or switch wireless switch back on (i need to switch i off every time i need to suspend), wireless list is empty, i need to run this command
sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan
and the list is refreshed.
Can i somehow force it to scan when i turn wireless on?
Hint why my nb is not suspending when wireless is on would be good too (happened on Ubuntu too).
My system is:
OS Factory 32b
Can you just clarify if you are running Factory or Factory tested?
I have no trouble with my BCM
In KDE I make my wireless a system connection.
Factory (not snapshot). Kernel 3.11.3-2-default
IIRC I trouble with a newer kernel a month or so ago.
I’m on a stock 12.3 ATM
Can you easily test a older kernel?
It worked year ago on Ubuntu, it must be kernel bug i tried live Antergos and Ubuntu 13.10 and it does the same.
You could try the proprietary Broadcom driver:
PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket broadcom-wl
You need the package “broadcom-wl” and one of the “broadcom-wl-kmp” packages depending on your kernel.
Yes
‘wl’ solved my issue on any kernel above 3.8
Okay broadcom-wl is working 
Just for those who dont know, you also need:
blacklist b43
blacklist ssb
and maybe
modprobe wl
No.
This is done by the package “broadcom-wl”.
That’s why I said you need “broadcom-wl” and one of the kmp packages. 
If you have both installed, you don’t have to blacklist anything manually.
Absolutely correct

What a pain all this.
I have installed both broadcom-wl and the kmp-desktop package.
I can see the wifi pojnts but it cannot connect to anything
On top I cannot connect via a wired connection either (all this in 13.1 64
bit in a dell latitude D630 (wifi adapter is a BCM 4312).
Tried setting the IFUP method, does not work either “network is not
reachable”.

It gets even stranger. I reset the router and now I can use the wifi fine.
So in a way, problem solved, but I do not know why.
Thanks to those who pointed out what rpms to install.
