Yes, b43's ad-hoc support is known to be broken.
This is not the b43 driver. B43 doesn't even support BCM4313 (14e4:4727): http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 I'm using the driver called 'brcm80211'. The reason of that my card didn't work is the openSUSE 11.4 currently lacks the package brcm80211-firmware-*-*.noarch.rpm Please add it to the offical repos and my card will start working. To tell the truth i finally realised that my symptom is technically different from the one described in this report.

If computer is longer period ( ~15min) unused networkmanager asks again the wireless network password and does not connect anymore. After pressing ok it will try to connect again but never success it just keeps asking the password again and again. Also sometimes after suspend it won't connect. It just keeps asking the password. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Quote from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 :
LP-PHY devices: DMA errors on some machines with kernel 2.6. Problem was fixed in 3.0. Using PIO (module param) can be used as workaround for 2.6.
The bug was fixed in 3.0 kernel. Solutions for you: 1) Update kernel in your openSUSE to 3.0 or newer 2) Install still-experimental-for-now openSUSE 12.1 3) Do "rmmod b43 && modprobe b43 pio=1" as root -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
