That pretty much reflects what I'm observing with BCM4311 on HPC nx6325, plus
D-Link access points are not listed by "iwlist eth2 scan" (I wonder what's so
special about D-Link access points ...).
I have another machine with a bcm43xx here, but it has the 4306 chip and works
just fine. I've tried to run tcpdump on it to check if I can see some traffic
from the nx6325, but apparently I can't.
I can, however, to the reverse, ie. run tcpdump on the nx6325 and sniff the
traffic from the other box (but not from the access point to it, although the
access point is a D-Link one, so ...).
Greetings,
Rafael
