Broadcom Wireless Card Setup Problems

Hello there, I'm very new to Archlinux and to linux overall. Since I'm done with my classes for the summer, I had the crazy idea to setup a home web server with my old machine and at the same time use the wireless card as an acess point for my laptop. The problem is that I followed all the steps in the Archlinux wiki about the wireless setups for the B43 driver several times. However, my system seams to ignore all my efforts and keeps making fun of me. According to what I understood, it's not setting up the network interface. (Which is suposed to be done automaticly I think) So here's a bunch of troubleshooting commands results.
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

(There was an other one that told how to set it up but i can't find it)

Ok, I"ve done it and I got a few errors.

So, does that mean that I don't use the proper firmware?

  • HWIC wireless card setup and errors

    Hello all, I have a wireless card setup on my 1841 router and I am trying to get it to work with computer connected to it. I can connect fine and it routed to the internet and all of that, but the problem is that it keeps pushing out this error,
    "*Jan 16 04:53:39.402: *** Not encrypted dot1x packet from 0016.6f65.b176 has been discarded"
    Then after a few of those, the station gets removed from the wireless connection. Not sure where to go from here, I have WPA-psk setup on the router, the config for the interface looks like this...

  • Tried every way to install my broadcom wireless card and failed

    Hello.. i asked this in the newbie section but didn't get any replies.. i really need help and i don't know where else to go.
    i have an hp dv2500 laptop with a Broadcom wireless card.. here is the output of lspci | grep -i net
    08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
    at first, i tried getting it to work with the broadcom-wl driver from AUR as suggested by this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
    i followed all the steps.. however, i did get an error when i tried to exucute this line:
    insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
    and the error was:
    error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 File exists ...
    i continued despite this error and when i was done, i couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd.. the modules named "wl" and "lib80211" are loaded but i still can't detect it..
    i uninstalled, re-installed and i got the same behaviour..
    so then i tried the BCM43xx driver as described here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … up#BCM43XX
    i unpacked the firmware and restarted but i still couldn't detect it.. and i couldn't load the bcm43xx module because arch says was not found..
    then i tried the driver after that "b43".. followed the steps on the wiki, restarted, and i still couldn't detect the card with iwconfig or wicd..
    i have been trying to get this to work for 3 days now.. i appreciate your time and help in this issue..
    thanks

    thanks for the reply tomk..
    so at least we limited the problem to using broadcom-wl..
    here is dmesg after modprobe -r wl

  • No network and Broadcom wireless card

    I'm new to Solaris OS, and I installed Solaris 10 with no network since I'm using a broadcom wireless card. Before installing Solaris10 on this box I had Ubuntu running on it and was able to use the ndiswrapper for the broadcom card.
    But... I'm a bit lost now since I installed solaris 10 with no network at all. So my question is, how do I create a new network and get my broadcom card installed?

    Solaris is a great OS... welcome to the fold.
    First, Broadcom is not a good choice for any alternative OS including Solaris but OpenSolaris does have drivers despite Broadcom's lack of cooperation with other operating systems. I do suggest staying away from this vendor because of their "closed" nature of driver support.
    That being said, the HCL at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/ can help. As well as Linux and others. While vendors like Broadcom are closed, others are not.
    My favorite has been Intel 82557, 82558, 82559-controllers, I bought a bunch of them dirt cheap years back knowing they were supported with Linux, BSD and Solaris. They work well in pairs too, use then for firewalls.
    The best thing we can do is only buy hardware that works with all OSes.

  • New driver for Broadcom wireless cards

    Finally there's a driver for Broadcom wireless cards, including 4328 which only worked using ndiswrapper.

    Actually, this driver already has a Wiki page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312.  The new information is that it doesn't just work with bcm4312 cards, but all modern 43xx cards.  See the forum links in the previous message.
    The driver is already available in AUR,

  • Problems with Broadcom wireless card after Kernel Upgrade

    After upgrading to version 2.6.39 of the linux kernel, I am having trouble with my Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card. The broadcom-wl driver no longer seems to work, even after reinstalling it from the AUR. The b43 driver seems to be able to connect to unencrypted networks, but can no longer connect to my family's WPA Personal encrypted router. Is anybody else having a similar problem?

    As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.

  • Windows 7 driver for GeForce 320m Graphic Card and Broadcom wireless card

    I just got my 11" MacAir (2011)and installed Windows 7 on it using Parallel software. Everything works fine except for the driver for the Broadcom BCM 43xx1.0 airport wireless card and for the GeForce 320m graphic card. Windows 7 cannot find the drivers. I have tried everything to find a solution: Downloaded the drivers from the Broadcom and NVIDIA websites, used the drivers that came with bootcamp and made changes to the nvao.inf file for the graphic card problems but nothing works. Does anyone know a solution to these problems? Many thanks.

    Hi,
    since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources.
    However, Parallels does not use the native (real) hardware of your Mac but virtualizes certain hardware.
    The video adapter is a "VGA and SVGA with VESA 3.0 compatible Video Adapter" and the WiFi is mapped to a "Ethernet Virtual network card compatible with RTL8029".
    For these virtual devices Parallels brings all drivers with it and names them "Parallels Tools" which you have to install manually while in our Parallels Windows virtual machine.
    Refer to the Parallels User Guide http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v6/docs/en/ParallelsDesktop_UsersGuide/
    Regards
    Stefan

  • [SOLVED] Broadcom wireless card behaving very strangely

    My wireless card has become unusable in an obscure fashion after a reboot. It may have been due to the recent kernel update, but I rebooted once after that update and the card was fine, so I'm not sure. Wireless was working without a hitch for months before this.
    I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 with a Broadcom BCM4331 wireless card. I use the b43 firmware.
    The firmware is being loaded on boot, but that vague "link is not ready" error appears every time the system attempts to load the firmware:

    If I scan for networks using iw dev wlp3s0 scan, I get no output. Here's the debug output from that if it means anything to anyone—from the docs on netlink I read it doesn't seem to show anything unusual:

    If I try to use wpa-supplicant, it will say "Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant" as if it had properly made a connection, but it hasn't. Running iw dev wlp3s0 link will show that the card isn't connected to anything, and of course the internet still doesn't work.
    I know it's not a hardware problem because the wireless works fine in Mac OS.
    What gives? Is there a way I can investigate this further? It seems like a driver and/or kernel issue but I'm not really sure how to nail that down with confidence. I couldn't find any reports in the kernel bug tracker about this or anything, so maybe it's just me and I'm doing something wrong.
    Thanks!

    Yay, that worked!
    I guess I really should've tried that initially, huh? Since the wiki said not to use it unless you had an unsupported wireless card, I figured I shouldn't (b43 officially supports mine). Still, considering that it's easy to install/uninstall drivers, my caution was obviously unwarranted.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Linksys WMP11 Wireless Card Setup (Prism 2.5 chipset wlan-ng drivers)

    I just finished setting up my first Arch Linux box on an ancient desktop of mine.  It is running so suprisingly fast and I am loving it so far.  I learned a ton working trough the guides too.  Anyway, I am having issues setting up my wireless card.  Currently, I am sharing my laptops wifi with my Arch desktop but I would like to use my acutal PCI card. 
    The card is a Linksys WMP11.  I used to lspci to find that it is using the Prism 2.5 chipset.  I consulted the Wireless Setup guide
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … bsolete.29
    This informed me that my card is supported by the wlan-ng drivers.  My card is supported on the hardware list:
    http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
    I have searched around the official Arch repositories and the AUR and I can not find this package.  The Wireless Wiki page states to use tools within the wlan-ng26-utils package.  I can't seem to find this package.  It does say wlan-ng is obselete.  Is it no longer maintained?
    I also downloaded the drivers directly from
    http://www.linux-wlan.org/
    However,  I ran into issues when trying to run make configure.   The value it generates for the Linux source path is invalid. 
    So, I am out of luck since the packages don't appear to exist, or is it possible to compile and install the drivers from source?  How do I tie this into pacman?
    Thanks

    Hope this helps. I have the same chipset and have been searching on and off for the past three days for the answer - here's the simple thing that got mine working.
    in /etc/rc.conf modify the modules line to include wpa_supplicant
    MODULES=(wpa_supplicant)
    in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add the following line (create this file if it doesn't exist)
    blacklist iwconfig
    Now you should be able to activate and configure your card via wpa_supplicant. Here is a sample of my wpa_supplicant.conf
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
    # WEP in Shared Key mode
    network={
        ssid="MyRouterEssid"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0="MyCustomKey1"
        wep_key1="MyCustomKey2"
        wep_key2="MyCustomKey3"
        wep_key3="MyCustomKey4"
        wep_tx_keyidx=2
        priority=5
        auth_alg=SHARED
    And here is the wpa_supplicant command line to start it manually
    wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
    BTW, I also have these two lines in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file
    blacklist orinono
    blacklist orinono_pci
    I have not had time yet to verify if this is not needed (was part of previous attempts to get wifi to connect) but wanted to let you know in case it is part of the stuff needed to get these cards working with the newer wpa_supplicant. Of course this configuration is for a WEP Shared Key configuration. I have also not had time yet to test whether or not this will work in WPA mode. I suspect not in my case because the firmware I have on my card is pre-wpa on the Prism 2.5 series. We'll see.

  • Elitepad 900 improper shutdown/restart/sleep, BSOD/hang: wireless card driver problem, Windows 8

    There doesn't seem to be a discussion section for this product, so here goes...
    I've been trying out the HP ElitePad 900 from a local vendor for possible use in our environment. I work for the resident IT shop as a Network Engineer and while I was testing out the product, I ran into an interesting bug. Seem that the  products wireless card (the Qualcomm Atheros AR6004 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi Adapter), when the Power Management of this device is set to not "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", it will not shutdown completely, it will not reboot and it will not go to sleep.
    Rebooting with the wireless card's set in this manner causes a BSOD (or whatever they're calling it for Windows 8). The error says that there was a power state error.
    If you let it go to sleep, the devices does not respond.
    Shutting down, the device hangs at shutdown, preventing it from fully shutting down.
    None of my other devices running Windows 8 have this problem.
    The driver version is 3.7.0.206.
    Again, I'm just testing this product. I will not be able to further troubleshoot the device. I'll leave that up to the support people to work this out.

    Hey Guys, 
    I discovered the same problems with my Elitepad. However, I installed the following update and it seems that at least the stand-by problems are solved:

  • Broadcom wireless card dissapears???

    Hi all,
    I've been bamboozled by this little issue for a while now. My HP G6000 has an in built broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter, but for a while, I've been having issues with it. It was working one day, then the next, gone. It wasn't detected by anything, not even device manager. I even opened the laptop up to check the card was still there. It was, but for some reason, the computer never picks it up. Occasionally, after resetting the bios or whilst the computer is on, it does start up and become detectable again, but this is such a rare occurrence that I may as well not even bother to get my hopes up. This is just another problem from a laptop with a history riddled with problems, one of which it overheated on boot up and was only useful as a doorstop for 2 whole years...
    If anyone has any good ideas or questions, I would be very grateful indeed.
    Thanks for your time,
    Smileygeckos

    The first symptom I had before my gpu went (dv9810) was that my dvd drive disappeared from device manager.  This was also intermittent, at first, but eventually it was gone for good.  I restored my system using the recovery partition, but the dvd drive never came back.
    The reason I mention all this is because, after I baked my motherboard, everything was working again, and I wonder if heating the entire board somehow reflowed the dvd connection also.  This is all speculation on my part, but it kind of makes sense.
    Anyway, if you get to that "nothin to lose" point, you might want to pop it in the oven.
    Good luck

  • Wireless network setup problems [SOLVED]

    Hi!
    I'm trying to set up the wireless network here, and have been for the last couple of days. I'm following the Arch Linux Wireless Setup guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup and I've come to the point where I should have a connection, but I don't. I can't get an IP from dhcpcd and setting it to static doesn't help me. Wired network with dhcp works fine, but I can't connect to the router on 192.168.1.1 as stated by my ISP or any other address, I shouldn't have to as the essid and key seems to work but it's suspicious.
    Be advised: This is the first time I'm in contact with wireless networking, I've been using wired since the dawn of time.
    Running Arch i686 on a Compaq CQ60 laptop
    Router is a Xavi 5258
    These are the steps I've made:

    # route add default gw 192.168.1.1
    // This results in nothing other than breaking all connections until I shut down wlan0.
    I have some thoughts:
    Is the key right? How do you know if it's wrong?
    Why can't I connect to the router on any of the standard IP:s nor the one given to me by my ISP? Hardware error?
    Is my eth0 dhcp connection in some way conflicting? I've tried the whole set up from a fresh boot with the wire disconnected.
    Have I confused something in the stage of installing and modprobing madwifi -> ath5k? Seems like the card is supported but I don't know how far into the set up process you can go with an unsupported card.
    Heh-heh, that's my post, sorry for the length of it but I don't want to leave something out that could've been useful in troubleshooting.
    Thanks in advance for any help, be it simple pointers or complete walkthroughs.
    Edit: There was something, somewhere about country codes, but it said it's probably not an issue. Could it cause any trouble? I live in Sweden.

    I solved it!
    I had to change my eth0's IP to 192.168.1.2 before I could access the modem!
    The key was not at all the one my ISP specified, it was a 10-digit number. NICE.
    After I set wlan0 up with that key dhcpcd worked flawlessly and I'm writing this post through my wireless network!
    Now, how do I mark the thread as solved?

  • MX922 wireless LAN setup problems with iMac

    I am trying to setup my new MX922 printer with a new imac. During the original setup phase, I got a message instructing me to press the "WPS" button on the "access point" for 3 seconds. Before I could figure out what the heck either a WPS button or an access point is, the setup screen on the printer disappeared. Now I will have to go back through the setup process again, but the instructions to do so include using the dosc. My imac does not have a disc drive. I know that the files can be downloaded on the canon website, however there are several drivers or software programs for the MX922 that can be downloaded, and it is not at all clear which I would need.

    Hi Toeknail,
    To install the printer wirelessly, please click on the link below to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX922:
    PIXMA MX922 Drivers and Software page
    Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:

  • Wireless Network Setup Problem

    ok so i bought a d-link DI-624 (wireless G "Xtreme" router) i set it up no problem yesterday set the name of the network, password and opened a couple ports for a torrent downloading app called "Transmission" (which is great btw :P).. n e ways i put my macbook to sleep and woke up this morning opened the lid and it still had my network there but now i cant go to n e websites. i used the network diagnostics and it told me that it found my wireless network but it thinks my homepage "www.apple.ca" was typed wrong thus making it not able for it to test whether or not it could view a webpage. iv run out of ideas to get it working. iv restarted the router, modem and macbook with no dice. any suggestions?
    oh and i forgot to mention iv got the wireless router hooked up to another router (D-Link DI-604) just for the time being as i havent been able to disconnect one of the connections (important download being done) so its just for the time being

    im leaving to go on vacation for 10 days so ill get back to ya then with an answer.. iv just got my macbook plugged directly into the DI-604 right now.. my wireless one i put away for now while im packing and stuff.. ill get back to this when i get back.. need to get it running :P i got a taste for how good wireless is with a laptop for one day and now im tied down with this cable again oh well ill be back soon enough

  • Can't get Broadcom wireless card working

    Hello everyone. First and foremost, I'm not a newbie to Linux, just to Arch, so I do kinda know what I'm doing
    I've got my laptop with a Broadcom BCM4328. I followed the steps on the Wiki page to the letter, but I've got nothing: the wireless doesn't initialize, and I have no interface for the wireless. I've provided my output for a few commands below if it helps. I'm using the latest kernel as I just installed Arch today. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    [joshua@W01-Zeus ~]$ lspci | grep Broadcom
    03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
    0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
    [joshua@W01-Zeus ~]$ sudo modprobe wl
    [joshua@W01-Zeus ~]$ lsmod | grep wl
    wl 1287680 0

    the modules that i'm talking about are b43, b43legacy and ssb. but looking at your devices ssb is needed by b44(ethernet module).
    your MODULES should look like this:
    MODULES=(wl !b43 !b43legacy...)
    not that wl is first in this array
