Issues with broadcom 4313 wifi card on a samsung NP305

Hi
I'm currently having issues with getting the wifi to work on my broadcom 4313 wifi card on a Samsung NP305U1A. The command
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
returns 14e4:4727, so according to the wiki, I chose the "brcmsmac" driver. I blacklisted correctly b43, bcma in the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file, rebuilded the mkinitpcio image, so when I type lsmod now, the only wifi modules loaded in my kernel are :
brcmsmac 569864 0
mac80211 221981 1 brcmsmac
brcmutil 6912 1 brcmsmac
cfg80211 165796 2 brcmsmac, mac80211
I still don't see the wlan0 appearing when I type ifconfig though.
Would you have any advices?
Thank you very much,
Tuxer

Hi everybody!
I've found a solution for this problem (at LinLap, see pierre comment on Feb-24-2012) and it worked for my Linux Mint installation. On " /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" I didn't have the "blacklist b43" line, it was only on a previous comment line, but I commented the next line (it was similar) and added the same blacklist at end of file.
Uninstall the 'Broadcom Sta' driver
Open the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Delete the line:
blacklist b43
Add these two lines at the end of the file:
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcmsmac
Save and exit
Type:
sudo apt-get remove –purge bcmwl-kernel-source
Reboot
Type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
Reboot
Select the 'Broadcom Sta' driver
Best regards and I hope this works for you too

TX2500 (and other TX's??) with BROADCOM 4321 WiFi cards, Win7

Maybe I'm the only one here with this problem, although given HP's history, I doubt that very much. So I have a TX2510z, and even though I customized the heck out of this thing, for some silly reason, I didn't buy the Intel WiFi card. (My Bad, never again!!). I have had almost continual problems with the WiFi connecting to Enterprise class wireless access points. (Such as Cisco, Sonicwall, and a couple others.) I've NEVER had a problem with residential class AP's (Linksys blue boxes, D-Link, Belkin, Etc.) I've replaced the WiFI card like three times now (thank Greyskull I DID buy the extended warranty and ADR package!!!!) I spent more hours talking to a "Service Case Manager" than I did to my wife for a while there. I finally had had enough, and in a fit of loathing, upgraded to Win 7 (enterprise 64), hoping that a more advanced OS would have better drivers. It kinda did, for a while. Almost all features of the WiFi card were working until yesterday. All of a sudden I lost all of my associations, and had to re-connect to them with the wizard. Oddly, one of the Ciscos I had been using, I couldnt add manually now. I had to use the wizard. WHen I came home to my Belkin, which had been flawless to this point wasn't even visible to the TX now. ALL of my other devices were interacting with the Belkin appropriately. I even attempted to manually add with a fixed IP addy, but it was like it wasn't there. It was exactly how the TX had been acting under Vista. Randomly ignoring AP's. I was about an inch from throwing the whole thing out into the snow. I happened to find a link which appears to have solved my problems (at least for now). :::
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodTypeId=32...
And here is the forum thread I found it in. :::
Microsoft Support Forum
As I said, so far its working. I will find out how it manages the Ciscos tomorrow at work. If anyone has been having the WiFi issue with their TX series and Broadcom WiFi, please post something so I at least know I'm not alone/ crazy. I hope this post can help if you are haveing these issues.

I'd say go with Middleton BIOS either way (SATA II). In which case, get a newfangled 802.11ac card while you're at it.

Has anyone else had issues with dropping the wifi connections since upgrading to Yosemite

Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue. You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

Photoshop CS4 Issue with NVIDIA 8800 Video Card?

I have an Mac Pro Intel 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon with 6GB RAM running OS X 10.5.5 and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT driving two monitors.
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 fresh from a factory CD.
When I perform a Distort -> Lens Correction or do a Free Transform to rotate an image an arbitrary amount, and then follow that with a resize (tried 133% and 166%), the image ends up with a pattern of gray plaid overlaid -- especially visible in the darkest shadows. The pattern appears only on the rotated layers of an image.
This pattern persists if I quit and restart Photoshop, BUT -- there's no pattern visible if I open the same image in Photoshop CS3. It only appears in CS4.
This is easy to reproduce -- I just tried it with an image I created in Photoshop at 5x7" at 240dpi and filled with solid black.
I dropped a Bug Report to Adobe, and they wrote back suggesting "This is most likely an issue with your video card driver."
Anybody else out there having this issue? Anyone with an identical setup want to test this?

Any compatibility issues with two X-Fi cards installed on the same syst

I'll give you a breif background on what I'm doing. I run an internet radio show, and I require three soundcards to be installed in my system. I am current running:
SB X-Fi (Non fatalty, but the full-size board)
SB Audigy2 ZS
Onboard Realtek
In the above configuration, all the soundcards are happy with each other and not bothered by each others drivers. However, I am currently toying with the idea of replacing the Audigy2ZS with an SB X-Fi Fatalty. Here's the issue, will the Normal X-Fi and Fatalty X-Fi drivers have any compatiblity issues? I dont believe they use the same software, so seperate drivers would have to be installed. With the Audigy card currently in the system, I never had to install any drivers for it as I think they cam with SP2 or something and my system automatically recognizes it with (WDM) next to it's name in device manager. I would just like to confirm this before I purchase the X-Fi Fatality.
Last question: What about another X-Fi (Non Fatalty) that uses the same exact driver that's currently installed in my system for my other X-fi. Would there be any issues with that?

I actually dont have any trouble with the mode switching right now, it works great. That's actually why I'm buying the second X-fi, so I have the ability to switch modes with the different cards. I'm not using the software that came on the CD, but the updated drivers off of the web, and there is a drop down box to change which card you want to set settings for. What issues should I be looking out for?

Hostapd with AES-capable WiFi card = hardware AES or software AES?

I've seeking over the internet but no answers found.
I have a board with Atom N2800 (with no AES-NI), and a high-end 802.11n wifi card (AR9590) with AES encryption/decryption offload support.
Now I'd like to build a wifi router with installing archlinux, and with this configuration. The question is,
Will hostapd offload the AES encryption/decryption to the wifi card? or use openSSL + CPU?

Yes, thanks.

Problems with build in wifi card in DV6-2190us.

Hi am trying to see if someone can help me out with a problem am having with my WIFI and also LAN on my laptop.
The problems am having is with connectivity and speed on WIFI and also problems connecting to a network with a Ethernet cable.
The problem am having with my wifi is when trying to connect to a network it takes me about 5 to 10 minutes just to try to connect to the network and once connected it will continue to say unidentified network and it will take 5 to 10 minutes to connect to the internet. Once connected to the network and the internet the connection will start fast and slow down to a crawl even do am 10 to 20 feet away from the wireless router and I have full bars. After the connection slows down I will get disconnected from the network and it will take me 10 to 20 minutes to get back on it.
Also when I try to connect to the network using a Ethernet cable I will get connected but if I unplug the cable and try to connected again I won't be able to connect to the network or the internet and I would have to restart the laptop with the cable plugged in.
All of the drivers on the laptop are up to date and also windows is up to date I really don't know what's going on.
I have formatted and installed Widows 7 done all of the updates I have also updated all of the drivers for the laptop but the problem continues to come up.
After talking to some of my IT friends we removed the build in wifi card from the inside of the laptop and changed it with a wifi card of a same model laptop to rule out problems with the card, but the problem continues to happen with the new card installed on the laptop. The card that came out of the laptop with the wifi problems was installed to the second laptop and the wifi problems came up but after installing the original wifi card the problems went away.
The thing that trying to figure out is why the card that came out of the working laptop won't work correctly on the laptop that's having problem with.
If anyone has any ideas on what maybe causing the problems please reply to this post I really need to have this problem fix before I start taking online classes.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

You are posting on an iMac forum. I'd recommend posting a MBA forum, however I think you best bet is taking it into your local Apple store or AASP to determine if the Wi-Fi adapter is damaged and if it is then checking to see what options you have.

Noticed some issues with how NI DNET card handles problems

We have
noticed 2 issues with using the PXI NI-DNET (PXI-8461) card and Labview (8.5).
1. The scanner doesn’t recover from a lost of
DNET power
- With network
work up and everything scanning
- The Dnet
DC power is turned off and then turned back on
- All nodes are rest from the power cycle which
is common
- However,
when we try to scan the network again, Labview faults with can’t initialize card
I believe
- No nodes
restart
The DNET
card seems to not be monitoring the network DC power and releasing the handles
and/or trying to rescan the attached nodes.
Work
around: Restart the PXI or in Max, remove and reinstall DNET card
The work around are not a good solution. Is there another solution and why isn't the card restarting.
2. When Labview locks up, the DNET card keeps
scanning. When this happens the last
setpoints are still being sent. This can
be a problem if a heating is being controlled.
No work around
Is there any watch dog for this issue?

Howdy Olaje,
I think I've found a solution for your first question. Take a look at this Discussion Forum and see if it does the trick. However, I need a bit more information about your second question. I'm curious about the specifics of how LabVIEW "locks up". Is this a permanent crash or does it just freeze for a few minutes while control is transfered to another process? Also, what is the context of the lock up? Thanks for answering these follow up questions, I look forward to the response!
Sincerely,
Chris G in AE

WiFi Woes with Broadcom 4313

I am trying to get my wifi working on the network at my school, and it refuses to do so. I use wicd to connect, but it has trouble obtaining the IP address. I ran dhcpcd and dhclient manually after configuring, and it returns with
No DHCPOFFERS received.
The wifi works on my home network with WPA-PSK encryption, but not here with no encryption. I know that almost all ports are blocked on the network, so I tried broadcasting on a different port to no avail. This network still works on this laptop under Windows 7, so I am unsure of what to do. I tried getting the automatically discovered settings from Windows, and assigning them statically to the interface, but that doesn't work either.
I am using the broadcom-wl driver, as the brcmsmac one had a bad signal. I have another wifi module at home, but I really don't want to open up the laptop as it is under warranty.
Thanks,
Jacob

I managed to fix it by.....well, I'm not really sure. I just rebooted some more, and it seemed to fix itself. I would provide more info if I could, but I find it aggravating that I worked on it for three hours before it just fixed itself.

Issues with Broadcom 4321

Hi all, hope someone can help.
I have purchased a generic Broadcom 4321 wi-fi card and installed it succesfully in my Mac Pro.
Now, the card shows up as an Airport Extreme Card under OSX 10.4.9, but Leopard only detects it as a Third Party wireless adapter.
What can I do to change this?
thanks for your help and support

well, if that is the case, why then is this seen by 10.4.9 as being fully compatible and reported as and Airport Extreme card?
It goes without saying that Apple have changed something in Leopard just to disallow us mere mortals once again to use products which are widespread in the PC industry.
I have read of a number of users who have succesfully installed this card, with screenshots that prove it.
All I need to know is why in this case it does not work.
thanks

Anyone still having issues with connecting to wifi since updating to IOS 6.1.1 (iPhone 4S)?

It worked for about 5 mins every 40 mins up until 12 hours after updating the software. The wifi is greyed out (can't turn on or off) now, and I am becoming rather frustrated with this as I have been without internet for at least a week now, with my work relying heavily upon internet access. Any help would be great, I have done the hard reset, a normal shut-down, and I have restored my iPhone twice now and still no change. ANY help would be fantastic!

I'm having the exact same problem! However, mine hasn't worked at all even after resetting network settings, restoring phone from back up and as a new iPhone, drained the battery and turned the phone on and off. I am really angry because apple released an update yesterday to fix bugs specifically on iPhone 4S and it has done nothing. My idea would be to book an appointment with your local apple store. I have one on Saturday and hopefully they will replace the phone as I am still under warranty. If you're not still under warranty I think it'll cost you some money, which ***** because its apples fault.

Issue with using my gift card points

Okay, here's what I've done:
I've bought an iTunes gift card, I've redeemed it onto my account, it was $15 CDN. Now, I've wanted to purchase the OS 3.0 for my iPod Touch (2nd Gen.), but it won't let me use the points on my account.
Account currently does not use a credit card, it was set up without one because I do not have access to a credit card at this time.
Now, how do I use my points to get OS 3.0, and other things as well? Any help for a newbie?

Hey!
I'm assuming CDN is Canadian?
Unfortunately your iTunes gift card cannot be used to redeem S/W.Something to do with licensing laws or whatever.This is from Canadian Terms of sale from Apple.....
"4. Gift certificates, iTunes Cards, content codes and monthly allowances purchased in Canada must be redeemed through the Canadian iTunes Store, open only to persons above the age of 13. Not all products may be available. Content and pricing subject to availability at the time of actual download. Gift certificates, iTunes Cards, and monthly allowances may not be used to purchase software, games, or apps. Internet access and compatible software and hardware are required."
Laughable when your literally "just next door" to the US.

What would make my iTouch have issues with connecting to wifi?

It has been working fine all over the house, but now I am confined to 5 feet near the router. This problem happens in multiple areas, where a laptop can connect fine. I've done both hard and soft resets. I have not restored the iPod back to factory settings, adn I'm hoping that I do not have to.
This problem surfaced quite literally overnight.

No reason this shouldn't work.
Give each AppleTv a different name under Settings in case this confuses itunes, but if it's not connected to the router in the first place that won't help.
I would suggest:
1 - restarting router and powering off/repowering AppleTV
2 - if still not working replace working AppleTV with non-working one to check if it's a location related issue due to poor wi-fi signal. If still not working maybe it's faulty.
