Hello folks! I´m just trying to find out how to get my Broadcom-WLAN on my Asus A2D Laptop working. As this is the first version with the bcm43xxx-module integrated in the kernel I have no experience in setting up wireless networks on Linux. So I asume I´m doing something wrong. What I did: I updated today from a fresh beta2 to RC1 from a local directory (yum-repo). I tried to setup the card in yast: -I choosed the networkmanager-method. -e.g I chosed : "start at boot" instead of "start when cable is plugged in" which was the original state after installation. then I tried to start the connection via Knetwormanager-applet. From the other OS I know : Authentfication:open key: WEP Result: The statusbar grows up to 28% (Status Gerätekonfiguration) and then stagnates. What can I do? / What is the prefered Way to do this ? I would really be happy if I can get some help to get this working Peter Buschbacher Following: some of the output of dmesg: first part bootprocess, last part one try with knetworkmanager I think.
