Hi guys,
I recently got a HP nx6125 notebook featuring a BroadCom 'Air Force One'
WiFi-Card builtin. The following sources provided were used:
bcm43xx-20060125
bcm43xx-fwcutter-20060125
softmac-snapshot # Was not able to determine version
linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 # No guarantee for what they call patch
wl_apsta.o # Firmware container:
bcm43xx_initval01.fw bcm43xx_initval07.fw bcm43xx_microcode4.fw
bcm43xx_initval02.fw bcm43xx_initval08.fw bcm43xx_microcode5.fw
bcm43xx_initval03.fw bcm43xx_initval09.fw bcm43xx_pcm4.fw
bcm43xx_initval04.fw bcm43xx_initval10.fw bcm43xx_pcm5.fw
bcm43xx_initval05.fw bcm43xx_microcode11.fw
bcm43xx_initval06.fw bcm43xx_microcode2.fw
The following modules are loaded:

ifconfig eth1:

iwconfig eth1:

Mode:Managed Frequency=2.472 GHz Access Point: Invalid
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=2346 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
So far so good. I have set the rate to 11M after trial n+x to 11M.
As the 'iwconfig' output shows, it's possible to set the essid. The little
blue LEDs are glowing ( *smile* ), it's up...
...then I issued a 'iwconfig eth1 essid f0f0f0f0f0':
# iwconfig eth1 key f0f0f0f0f0
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
A 'iwconfig eth1 enc f0f0-f0f0-f0' fails with the same response.
Anything specific I could try to debug or forgot to tell?
Thanks so far,
Lukas
