The bcm43xx driver is reverse-engineered and doesn't work for 4318 chipsets yet. The described behaviour is expected. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256189 ------- Comment #4 from jbenc@novell.com 2007-03-23 04:46 MST ------- Unfortunately, that's just coincidence. bcm43xx never worked with 4318 reliably, some people reported success on some machines with some versions of the driver, for others it never worked. (Btw, I have a card with the same chipset.) Actually, your card is working but it has a wrong TX power set. You're able to receive frames but transmitted frames are sent with a too weak power. You may be able to connect if you move close to the AP (to few meters), but even this is not guaranteed. Sorry, specifications for the chipset are not available and nobody can help you now. Authors of bcm43xx driver are working on this issue, though. If you want to speed this up, try to ask Broadcom for Linux support (they probably won't even bother to answer, but anyway). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256189 ------- Comment #5 from jbenc@novell.com 2007-03-23 04:58 MST ------- Also, please note that it's quite likely there will be completely different driver in the final 10.3 (bcm43xx-mac80211 instead of bcm43xx). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
