This is exactly what is expected. The BCM4306 rev 02 uses b43legacy. A BCM4306 rev 03 _needs_ b43. > - While everything works fine with bcm43xx, replacing it with b43 > results in timeouts (the same thing as described in this thread : > https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-March/006995.html ) > > Dmesg output after loading b43legacy : > > [481560.308707] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.0[A] -> Link [APC4] -> > GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 > [481560.331833] ssb: SPROM revision 1 detected. > [481560.348634] ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device > 0000:02:09.0 > [481560.581763] b43-phy4: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found > [481560.650004] phy4: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple' > [481560.675163] udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to eth0 > [481560.733573] input: b43-phy4 as /devices/virtual/input/input82 > iwconfig after reloading the network : > lo no wireless extensions. > wmaster0 no wireless extensions. > eth0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"freebox" > Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: BA:FA:E6:72:E9:0C > Tx-Power=20 dBm > Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B > Encryption key:off > Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 > Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 > Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 > Finally dmesg : > [481907.430896] eth0: Initial auth_alg=0 > [481907.430907] eth0: authenticate with AP ba:fa:e6:72:e9:0c > [481907.629997] eth0: authenticate with AP ba:fa:e6:72:e9:0c > [481907.830001] eth0: authenticate with AP ba:fa:e6:72:e9:0c > [481908.030004] eth0: authentication with AP ba:fa:e6:72:e9:0c timed out > and wpa_supplicant output : > <2>Trying to associate with ba:fa:e6:72:e9:0c (SSID='freebox' freq=2447 > MHz) > <2>Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out. > Here's the situation and I don't have any idea of the causes or the way > to solve this problem. Your iwconfig output shows that the interface has authenticated, which implies transmit and receive both working. Please check that your copy of wpa_supplicant has the "wext" interface enabled. There has been a report of failures for this reason.
