Problems associating

[Marc Morrisette]

I successfully extracted the firmware from wl_apsta.o, this worked better than the Windows driver (apparently newer).  I'm not getting any more weird errors now, I also updated baselayout to the latest ~x86 version.  This makes it bring the interface up before attempting to scan (as it should).  iwconfig says it's associated with an access point, but if I check my dmesg, softmac always says association timed out.  I'm lost here.  I'm using the mini-PCI Broadcom 4306 that's built into my laptop, and I've heard of people using this driver with this chipset and making it work.  I don't know what else I can do from here.  I tried manually setting the rate to 11M to see if that might help, but it still does the same thing.
