Title:
Network Manager connection to "(none)" (Broadcom STA Driver)
Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I'm not entirely sure where to report this bug. I wrote a request for
forum help a few days back (see
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6494394#post6494394) but it
definitely appears to be some kind of bug in either the Broadcom STA
wl driver or Network Manager's dealing with the driver.
I'm testing out a new Netgear WNDR3300 Dual Band router (firmware
V1.0.29_1.0.29NA) with my Dell Inspiron E1505. My laptop has Broadcom
Draft N wireless card:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:0b:00.0
logical name: eth1
version: 01
serial: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical
wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl ip=192.168.0.2 latency=0
module=wl multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn
I'm using the Broadcom STA wl driver and things are working ok when
connected to the G network SSID (using wpa/tkip). When I switch over
to the N network, I get a message that "You are now connected... "
showing the correct SSID. Once connected, Network Manager shows no
connection in the icon (all grey signal bars) and the hover text says:
"Wireless network connection to '(none)'". The network is still alive
(I'm posting this via the N network) and yet it doesn't appear to be
quite right. The speed is double that of the G network, so it seems
to be working at least to some extent. The driver doesn't seem to be
reporting valid information when connected to the N network:
> iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
Access Point: Not-Associated
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
> iwlist eth1 rate
eth1 no bit-rate information.
I've just installed the latest restricted drivers for Intrepid. While
they didn't seem to break anything, they also don't seem to have
solved this problem. I will go ahead and attach the rest of the
requested information.
