WIFI Broadcom

user · April 16, 2009, 8:44pm

First of all excuse me for my english but i’m an’italian user.
I’ve a problem with wireless connection.
YAST recognised my wireless card (BCM4311 802.11 b/g WLAN) of my ACER 5310 but don’t works.
If a lunch “iwconfig” the result is:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Nickname:“USR9108”
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm
RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

I’ve followed the procedure SDB:Broadcom (BCM4306) WLAN Installation under SUSE - openSUSE but i can’T establish a connection…

Seems all ok but Firefox don’t works. Don’t works not even 192.168.1.1 (the router USR). Have you others advices?

You have not authenticated. Please post the output of ‘dmesg | grep b43’.

There is no result for the “'dmesg | grep b4”…

OK. As long as you have ndiswrapper loaded and b43/ssb blacklisted, I cannot
help youo. I don’t do Window$ unless absolutely necessary.

user · April 19, 2009, 10:20pm

i thank you because it works! I don’t know the answer but i’m very happy for the result!

After going through this thread, I couldn’t come to the conclusion if the problem is resolved or not.

Is your network working properly now?
