Broadcom devices BCM4306 and BCM4318 do not work when configured with ifup but do work using Network Manager.
would it be possible to try these steps ? a) switch to runlevel 3: # init 3 and login as root b) set the interface up: # ip link set wlan0 up c) show the interfaces: # ip link show d) be sure no wpa_supplicant is running: # pgrep -l wpa_supplicant and kill it if it's running: # killall wpa_supplicant e) scan the available APs: # iw dev wlan0 scan f) edit wpa_supplicant.conf: # cd /etc/wpa_supplicant # cat wpa_supplicant.conf.tmp ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel g) configure wpa_supplicant: # wpa_passphrase <ssid> [passphrase] >> wpa_supplicant.conf.tmp h) save your old configuration and copy the new one # cp wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf.BAK # cp wpa_supplicant.conf.tmp wpa_supplicant.conf i) start wpa_supplicant manually: wpa-supplicant -dddt -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log j) check if the card connects: # iw dev wlan0 link k) if connected start dhcp # dhcpcd wlan0 If you have problems, post the output of the commands and also the log files /var/log/messages and /usr/log/wpa_supplicant.log. Truncate the logs before testing.
