This bug makes all the channels disabled and kills all wireless. No; wireless *works* with another AP, although there are some PHY transmission errors. At least two differences between the two APs - the working one broadcasts essid, as I mentioned earlier, and it uses WPA-PSK TKIP. The non-working one hides its essid, and doesn't use encryption. Earlier kernels worked fine on both. iw shows that even on the bad kernel, the channels aren't disabled, as they are in the page you link to. This seems to be a different problem. $ bin/iw dev wmaster0 info Band 1: Frequencies: * 2412 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2417 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2422 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2427 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2432 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2437 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2442 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2447 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2452 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2457 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2462 MHz (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 2467 MHz (disabled) * 2472 MHz (disabled) * 2484 MHz (disabled) > Larry Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
