[gentoo-user] Problem with bc43xx and kernel-2.6.23

2007-10-15 Thread Eduardo Otubo
Hi everyone,

I am running a kernel-2.6.23 and wifi bcm43xx on my Compaq Presário
v2000. And my Wifi doesn't work. My module is compiled built-in, and
when I start my interface:

$ ifconfig eth1 up

I have this on my dmesg:

bcm43xx: PHY connected
bcm43xx: Microcode rev 0x127, pl 0xe (2005-04-18  02:36:27)
bcm43xx: Radio turned on
bcm43xx: Radio enabled by hardware

bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED (radio_attenuation  10) at:
drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:1489:bcm43xx_find_lopair()

I can connect on SOME networks, encrypted or not. I mean, I do
connect, but I dont recieve any DHCP packs. When I connect (with DHCP,
or not) I keep connected for a little time, then the link just falls.

Any idea?

Hmm.   So the radio attenuation is too high?

they recommend switching your network to a different channel.

What do you mean?
Changing the channel configuration on iwconfig will lower my attenuation?

Here is some more information:
