Wireless speed - Dell Dell Wireless 1395 (Broadcom 4312 chipset)

I have a dell m1330 XPS laptop running Arch 64 using the proprietary broadcom drivers, as referenced in this wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
My situation is this; my broadband is 10Mbps which is what I see if I do a third party speed test using a wired connection.
However, if I do the same speed test using wireless, I can only get 2 Mbps.   I'm using WPA2 encryption and linksys WRT54G wireless router (with
dd-wrt firmware). 
This seems really slow and I'm wondering if it's primarily a driver issue??
Other: I do show a full, 100% signal strength on my laptop.  I live in an apartment complex with many other Wireless Access points around.
Thanks.

The solution which is working for me is the following.
Create the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf
And put the following in it:
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=0
Of course the file name in modprobe.d can be different but must end with .conf

  • B43 won't recognise Broadcom 4312 wireless card

    I've had a Dell XPS M1530 laptop for a few weeks now. It's got a Dell 1395 wireless card, which is actually a disguised Broadcom 4312 card.
    lspci recognises it as such:
    [sander@lappy686 ~]$ lspci | grep -i broadcom
    0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
    The card works fine with the properietary broadcom-wl drivers. I'm using these right now, in fact.
    However, I'd like to use b43 if at all possible, because:
    - b43 supports monitor mode;
    - broadcom-wl drivers are proprietary, whereas the b43 ones are open.
    I have followed the guide on the wiki to extract the firmware from the proprietary drivers:
    [sander@lappy686 ~]$ sudo ls /lib/firmware/b43/
    a0g0bsinitvals4.fw a0g0initvals9.fw a0g1initvals5.fw b0g0bsinitvals9.fw lp0bsinitvals13.fw lp0initvals15.fw pcm5.fw ucode4.fw
    a0g0bsinitvals5.fw a0g1bsinitvals13.fw a0g1initvals9.fw b0g0initvals13.fw lp0bsinitvals14.fw n0absinitvals11.fw ucode11.fw ucode5.fw
    a0g0bsinitvals9.fw a0g1bsinitvals5.fw b0g0bsinitvals13.fw b0g0initvals4.fw lp0bsinitvals15.fw n0bsinitvals11.fw ucode13.fw ucode9.fw
    a0g0initvals4.fw a0g1bsinitvals9.fw b0g0bsinitvals4.fw b0g0initvals5.fw lp0initvals13.fw n0initvals11.fw ucode14.fw
    a0g0initvals5.fw a0g1initvals13.fw b0g0bsinitvals5.fw b0g0initvals9.fw lp0initvals14.fw pcm4.fw ucode15.fw
    when I insert the b43 module (sudo modprobe b43), the following shows up in /var/log/everything.log:
    Nov 7 20:58:36 lappy686 Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
    ... and nothing more. I was told that this isn't normal
    The actual problem is that no network interface shows up in ifconfig / iwconfig. The only ones that are there are lo and eth0 (wired ethernet). When I use broadcom-wl, the wireless interface shows up as "eth1".
    I have also tried to extract the firmware from some older versions of the driver, but the same thing happens. What's curious is that it'll still say "Firmware-ID: FW13" in /var/log/everything.log...
    So, anybody have any clues? I guess it's not that urgent, but it sucks that I have to use a  proprietary driver. The only other option I haven't tried is ndiswrapper, and frankly, I'm not sure I want to

    On my machine:
    lspci | grep -i broadcom
    03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
    0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
    dmesg | grep -i broadcom
    b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
    Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
    grep MODULES /etc/rc.conf
    MODULES=(b43 !b44 !pcspkr !snd_pcsp)
    I wanted to look at the MODULES section on your machine because, indeed, I was planning to suggest something along the lines of "b43 !wl". Now I suppose that it would not work (as you seem to have already tried it).

  • Belkin wireless card F5D7010 RT2500 chipset on Solaris10 IBMthinpad R40

    I have a Belkin F5D7010 wireless card with RT2500 chipset .I have been trying to set up this wireless card on Solaris10 (IBM thinkpad R40 box) for the past week, without success. If i use ndis wrapper I am getting $chicago$ Segementation Fault core dumped error while running ./ndiscvt -i ndis.inf - s ndis.sys -o ndis.h command. I tried with Ral driver too, I was able to plumb and the ifconfig-a shows ral0 interface up, but no connection. Is there no light at the end of the tunnel? Any help is appreciated . I am a novice in solaris.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, what about RAL driver , is it hopeless for
    this card too. At this point I am pretty much ready
    to get myself one of these cardsdon't know. All I do know is that their NDIS driver only has the code base for Broadcom cards only. I was hoping to use a Linksys card with their NDIS port but slammed into the wall and then posted a message. Support for any card other then Broadcom is simply not in the code base so there is nothing that you can do.
    Netgear WG511T Cardbus Works, forgot to mention that I needed cardbus-0.3 as well.
    So Netgear WG511T
    with
    ath-01 for Solaris 10 support
    wificonfig -01 for Solaris 10 support
    cardbus-0.3 to get cardbus support added to Solaris 10.
    The Netgear card is cardbus and Solaris 10 only has PCMCIA support without cardbus.

  • Dell Studio 17, Broadcom Wireless 4353, BCM43XX, KDE + NetworkManager

    Hi
    I have a new Dell Studio 17. I have recently started using Arch and I am really enjoying it, previously I was on OpenSuse.
    I have gotten most of what I need working. The only thing I have gotten stuck on is my wireless drivers.
    I previously had an older Dell Studio 17 that was stolen but I easily got the wireless working in OpenSuse.
    This new machine that is  an insurance replacement seems to be using a much newer wireless chipset.
    Can anybody please help me sort this out. I have read that some people have had some success with this chipset.
    I have been using the following wiki page as my primary reference for setup and trouble shooting.
    - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM43XX
    I am able to see my wireless network in NetworkManager but I am unable to connect to it.
    My wireless network is setup to use WPA-PSK.

    I found what the problem was.
    I am very pleased to say that it was not the drivers that were causing the problem.
    The problem turned out to be NetworkManager. I really like the NetworkManager GUI so I am not please to have to give it up.
    I am currently giving wicd + wicd-client-kde a try and if I don't like it I might try Netcfg.
    At least now I have a working wireless solution.

  • Wifi not working - Dell Inspiron 1564 - Broadcom BCM4312

    Hello everybody, I have a problem getting my wireless network working.
    I already installed the necessary driver and wicd sees the network but is not getting connection.
    Some friends of archlinux-br are helping me so far but still can not solve everything.
    Start wicd was not finding networks more this has been solved now wicd connects to network but can not open any page.
    We've tried to ping, change / etc / resolv.conf but no solution yet.
    If anyone has any suggestions I appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    I do not understand.
    I posted the previous message by windows since the wifi was not picking up on my network in the arch.
    Reset to the arch and take wifi without me doing anything.
    I ran some commands to identify what is currently running as probably go down again like before.
    follows:

    the output of dmesg me aware of this part:

    This has something to do with the instability of the network?

  • Compaq 610 wireless problem (Broadcom 14e4:4315)

    I can't get the wireless working, well I can get it up, but it doesn't see any networks. I tried the b43, which should work according to the link on the wiki page and it does work with b43 on the Manjaro livecd. Nice distro btw for the point and clickers, slick and fast. can be a big one when matured. Beats the hell out of *buntu distros in speed. But I am more a keyboard guy. And I want to make the software selection myself. For me just plain Arch. Back to the topic now.
    I also tried the fallback, broadcom-wl, which works great on the Archbang live cd. I can't get it working in Arch.
    I installed Arch several years ago on a Samsung netbook, when it died I moved the hd into an old Sony Vaio and that laptop died to, so I moved the drive into this Compaq 610. So maybe I inherited some messed up settings from that. I don't know. But I want to fix this installation. It has worked for a while. A couple of days. But I can't remember what I did exactly when it stopped working. After an update or after installing/removing packages. Anyway... now it's not working anymore. And tethering via my phone is not comfortable.
    The result from wifi-menu: no networks found.
    Where can I look for a problem? I didn't see anything weird in the output from lsmod and systemctl. There is also no mentioning that the card isn't detected or not working properly in the command I try. It just doesn't see other networks. Is there any logfile somewhere where I could find a hint of what is wrong?
    Is this a known problem that is just the result of a bug in the bleeding edge version of some package? Like the kernelbug that prevents the laptop from shutting down on hp laptops (Compaq is just hp). That one is solved already and will be in the next kernel version. But I haven't found anything about my wireless card the BCM4312.
    Can anybody give me a hint where to look to find the cause of this problem? I get no error messages, so I don't know where to look.

    Gusar wrote:rmmod-ing rfkill isn't how you unkill a device. You unkill it by... unkilling it. Using the rfkill utility.
    Sorry, that was  nonsense. I tried a lot and didn't look into my terminal history... anyway rfkill doesn't seem to be the problem.
    $ rfkill

    Most of the times when I do 'sudo ip link set wlan0 up' or 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' no nothing is returned to the terminal but with dmesg the following error can be found
    IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
    But not always. Sometimes it goes just up as intended. For a while... until I think that I can use it to make a connection. Nothing to standard output but dmesg reveals:
    wlan0: deauthenticating from 01:23:45:67:89:ab by local choice (reason=3)
    Well... I didn't make the choice, but it seems something did. An kernel module or service?

    But what is the source of the problem? And how do I find it. Is there a way to to find out which service/module/program/whatever is preventing my wifi from working and shuts it down as soon as it's seem to work for a few2 seconds?

  • [SOLVED]Wireless card (Broadcom) issue

    I've just finished installing arch on my new laptop. I've been using it already for quite some time, even if i'm far from being an expert.
    The installation went flawlessy. Now when i try to get my wireless interface up, messages show telling that some firmware files are missing (b43). Now i don't have any other os installed and getting a wired connection will require some time at best.
    I read on this same forum that i' d probably resolve it by installing the b43 firmaware package from AUR.
    I was wondering tho, since it was working well during the installation (did a net install), and since i'm not gonna be able to get a connection on the same machine for a while, if there is something i could do with the installation to include such required firmware.
    Thanks in advance.

    Will post the output later, since i havent got a graphical interface yet on my arch system.
    And yes that was wierd to me too, couldnt find a connection between the base-devel and the firmware missing files (was something along the lines of b43/ucode16_mimo.fw and one more), but i did the exact same steps both times except the host name which i changed the second time, and ofc the base-devel pkg.
    Anyways if i find something else out i will post here the findings
    EDIT: Following is the output of the lspci -vv and the loaded modules on the working system:
    03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

    brcmutil 6912 1 brcmsmac
    cfg80211 165636 2 brcmsmac,mac80211
    EDIT2: Adding this for everyone that might need it in the future.
    For the sake of understanding it, i did even try a third installation, redoing exacly the same steps i did in my 2nd 'working' one. This time tho, surprise, the issue was back in (no clue why, seems incredibly random).
    I checked the loaded modules and saw that the b43 module was loaded this time. So, as vacant suggested i procedeed to blacklist the 'bcma' module, restarted and the system was back working as it should.

  • Need help with Dell D630 backlight, NVIDIA graphics chipset

    I posted a thread about this before, but I didn't get any replies so I kinda thought it'd be best to start over with a new thread.  I never made any progress with the issue on my own, either.
    Here's the situation.  I use a Dell Latitude D630 with the NVIDIA graphics chipset (Quadro NVS 135M).  A couple of years ago, it worked great on Archlinux with no hardware incompatibilities (at least that I can remember, apart from having a Broadcom wireless card that needed proprietary firmware).  Then it broke and it took a while for me to get replacement parts and get it up and running again.  Now it works exactly as it's supposed to in Windows, but in Archlinux I have no software control over the backlight.  I would very much like to have my power management scheme dim the display while I'm on battery or after I haven't touched the computer for a period of time, but it absolutely does not work.  I've tried a couple of other Linux distributions without luck as well.
    I have tried setting the level manually through xbacklight and also through /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/brightness, and neither has any effect.  I've tried various backlight-related kernel parameters for GRUB, but none of them helped.  Here is the odd thing, though.  When I use the brightness keys on my keyboard, the backlight behaves exactly the way it should!  It also changes the value stored in /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/actual_brightness when I use the brightness keys, which is a value that does not change when I try changing the brightness in software.  I've noticed a few people have D630s with Intel graphics chipsets that had similar issues, but their fixes don't seem to apply in my case.
    Anyway, if anyone has any idea where I should be poking around to try and fix this, please, please let me know!

    Looking through my journal log it seems the kernel is able to register the device instead of the nouveu drivers.

    Try looking through your logs and search for 'backlight' or the device number, in my case its '0000:01:00.0'.
    You said you tried kernel options? Have you tried the ones mentioned in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ba … ne_options
    If what you say is true, and the backlight keys change the interface values, things should technically be working. So this command doesn't work?
    sudo bash -c 'echo n > /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/brightness'
    Where n is a number between 0 and max_brightness.
    Truthfully this is beyong my own expertise. But I saw your thread had no replies so I decided to see if I could help at all.
    That's fine, I appreciate you trying to talk me through it.
    I'll check my logs in a bit, but no, echoing a number to /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/brightness does nothing.  Using my keyboard keys does not affect the value in 'brightness' IIRC (I'm on Windows right now, but I'll confirm when I reboot to check the logs -- I think KDE might be changing the value in 'brightness', but I think it remained unchanged when I tried outside X), although the brightness of the backlight *does* change and the value in 'actual_brightness' changes accordingly.
    Honestly, I wish I had a Latitude E series like yours.  I almost upgraded to one when my D630 broke, but it was far, far cheaper to buy a new main board and base plastic for this computer.  Something about the way the backlight is handled changed in the time while the computer was broken, though, and it frustrates me.
    EDIT:  Yeah, 'brightness' only changes when KDE moves the slider, but has no effect on the actual brightness of the screen.  'Actual_brightness' changes when I press the keys, as does the actual screen brightness, but 'brightness' is unaffected.
    EDIT 2: I can't figure out where I should be looking in my logs.  The logs in the 'journal' directory don't appear to be human-readable.

  • I officially lost my hope, or why I hate the broadcom 4312 chip

    After countless days during the last two years I officially give up and salute all of you that got this chip working.
    I tried broadcom-wl, I tried b43, I tried compat-wireless (always the bleeding edge), I tried all the wiki's directions and in the end the best I can get is a working chip on the first iwlist scan command--- on the second I'm left with the infamous
    wlan0 No scan results
    and a mocking WIFI blue led.
    Is the problem the router? No. My ipod and every other wireless device (Nintendo DS, other laptops, mobile phone, atomic toaster) works. Is the chip faulty? No. Windows works fine (I actually dual-booted just to dismiss that).
    Maybe killing a chicken would do the trick? Who knows!
    Anyway here's my specs if someone from the future can send me the driver (Beer keg reward offered )
    Dell E5400 with 2.6.33-ck kernel (-arch doesn't work either)

  • EVIL BROADCOM 4312 - help plz

    PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
    Its currently 22:00 where I am and the first day of school is tomorrow. My goal today was to build arch from the ground up for my netbook (compaq mini 110c-1100ca). I can tell you I built one hell of a monster(the gui is amazingly awesome) but no matter what I do it seems impossible to get the wifi working.
    now unlike most newbies Ive looked around, in fact I've looked around for the last 5 hours on how to get this thing working and nothing seems to be helping. I've determined that my card is not supported by the b43 driver and after visiting about 10 different wiki pages and 3 different threads on the arch forums NOTHING is working!
    can somebody send me to a tutorial that is 100% newbie friendly because I have some experience in linux and every tutorial so far has failed and not made sense.

  • Broadcom 4312 problems following upgrade

    Hi all, how I've written on the object, after 6 years I have to give-up to archlinux, but really I don't want.  On my first computer, Arch is working very well, but on new laptop from 8 mouths (HP dv5 1101el), I'm having big problems with wireless:
    lspci | grep BCM43
    02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
    Every time, I update kernl (for example from 2.6.29 to 2.6.30) I have to reinstall drivers, but with last installed version (2.6.30-ARCH)  I've many problems, once time installed driver at next reboot, wireless is disabled and Archlinux doesn't recognize more it.
    To install driver I go on this webpage:
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514
    download files clicking on Files
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broad … oadcom-wl/
    later I write:
    makepkg PKGBUILD --asroot
    wl.ko  is created on sub-directory pkg/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/  that later I go to replace to /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/net/wireless/
    Later I write:
    depmod -a
    modprobe wl  (at this point wireless light turn-on on laptop, or it happens at reboot).
    By 2 days, I becoming crazy, it doesn't work more this procedure and I don't know how to do. For curiosity I've installed Ubuntu from 2 months on another partition, and this wanting or not, has recognized all.  Now I wouldn't pass to another distro, if you have another procedure or another solutions, please, tell me !!!

    Just a sidenote. That is not how you use aur/abs.
    1. you don't need to specify PKGBUILD
    2. you don't need --asroot
    3. don't copy the file yourself, pacman -U the finished package instead.

  • Broadcom 4312 and DNS lookup

    I installed and configured broadcom-wl driver and set wireless connection via wicd. Everything works, but web pages take a long time to load (looking up...). This doesn't happen in Windows nor in Linux wired connection. I use Arch 64.
    Any ideas?
    PS: sorry about my English

    My Broadcom 4322 works fine (relatively speaking) with hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_10_79_10.tar.gz and these patches:
    http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=184151
    http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=184152
    http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=187456
    ...except DHCP; dhcpcd just keeps broadcasting and never seems to get any replies. But it works with a static address.

  • Broadcom 4312 - Fun with drivers

    Hello, after doing research for about 3h I'm little sick and thought I'll ask for help of some people better suited in the topic than me
    So, the thing is that I can get wifi in my laptop on B4312 card with the Broadcom driver - broadcom-wl but apparently it doesn't like kernel 3.7.7 - the one I'm using, and it's causing kernel panic, so I need a new solution for getting wifi, which is pretty essential for me, I hate cables with all my heart.
    I tried to get b43 to work, after checking the compatibility list on their site (where my card is listed as compatible -but only says 2.6+, which I think is a little outdated...), and it doesn't like my laptop either, I installed b43-fwcutter and downloaded and made pkg for the firmware, card shows just fine in iwconfig / ip link but when I connect with wifi-menu to my network it works for about 15 seconds and disconnects.
    Any ideas of getting it to work?
    Thanks in advance

    Apparently it cannot authenticate again, it simply drops the connection...
    Router runs with WEP on, the password is correct as you could see by pings, it's my connection so if there's a need I'll change few things

  • Broadcom 4312 with 2.6.30-ARCH[Solved]

    well my problem is:
    the entire installation is great, but when installing broadcom drivers follow the steps of compiling the driver AUR adding to rc.conf but I can not operate my wireless, the led is still in red,
    HP dv4-1125nr
    2.6.30-Arch

    appreciate your help

    1.go to the HP official site to download the driver for XP
    2.then use winzip to open the exe file and search the inf and sys files for your wireless card
    3.copy the inf and sys files to a usb disk
    4.go to Arch and mount the usb disk
    5.change the dir to your inf and sys files location
    6.ndiswrapper -i filename.inf
      ndiswrapper -m
      ndiswrapper -mi
      ndiswrapper -ma
    7.reboot
    8.done~

  • Ip link wlan0 doesn't switch to up/no carrier [Broadcom 4318 chipset]

    The link state of my wireless doesn't change and there's no apparent log to it. I am new to all this, so I've been searching through solutions, but nothing seems to change. Maybe I ticked a setting earlier on that's breaking this now.

    Regardless, here's a run down. The driver seems working fine. The driver listings say I've got it right (can't use the open-source drivers, sadly.)

    I installed the drivers from AUR as was suggested in other threads. I'm blacklisting 'b43legacy' in a .conf in /etc/modprobe.d/.
    Trying `$ sudo dhcpcd wlan0` obviously times out waiting for carrier. Is it something like the ethernet connection/systemctl service stepping on my other network functions? I've tried unplugging several times, with no change to wlan0's issues.
    Any assistance ?
    At a certain point, I should've just went out and bought a new wireless card. Then I could've actually used my weekend productively.

    Thanks, it's been fixed.
    # dhcpcd enp2s0 --release
    # ip link set dev enp2s0 down
    # wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/innernets.conf
    # dhcpcd wlan0
    I'd done wpa_supplicant configuration/running once before, but I had to let it fail about 3 times before it found my hidden network. I'd thought using it came in the step after setting link state to up.
    And netctl wasn't working because I wasn't setting every interface down before running it, and set 'security=wpa2' instead of just 'wpa' for 1 and/or 2. Now everything's configured with ifplugd/auto, prefers my wired connection, etc.
