2014-01-25 Thread Dean

20140125
JAN 25 2014
Broadcom wireless
I hope that wl STA in the repository gets updated and makes this post useless.
I am new, so please help where possible.
___
Linux UBUNTU
Symptoms:
Every (or many) updates Break wireless
Corporate Environments
Multiple Wireless Access Points (WAP)
Campus Wireless (Universities)
Frequent disconnects
WPA2 connected but not usable
___
Wireless Hardware: Broadcom 4321
OS: UBUNTU 12.04 LTS with latest kernel
using standard Connection Manager, still has issues with multiple keys in
multiple WAP setup.

The wl driver in the repository that can be installed using the, command line
or proprietary/additional drivers in UBUNTU
is broken for my hardware.
20140125
My Data:
installed from repository or additional drivers => won't work.
installed from my compile/make per Broadcom's instructions => works.
_
SOLUTION:
go to Broadcom's site and get the new universal wl driver:
Broadcom has provided this as an official release.
it provides hardware encryption.
_
http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txtPlease keep reading.
( if your hardware is not supported by this go to the end of this post. )
COMPILE FROM SOURCE PER THE INSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT USE REPOSITORY wl DRIVER, UNINSTALL IT.
THIS MEANS DON'T USE THE ADDITIONAL DRIVERS SOLUTION in UBUNTU.
I Recommend creating your own folder to place the new driver so that nothing
will change it.
__
As of 20140125 every or most kernel or wireless security updates will break the
new Broadcom wl.ko module.
_
Quick Restore:
=> Remove various kernel modules that may conflict and Reinstall Broadcoms new
universal STA driver.
Open Terminal (ctrl+alt+t)
Paste next line to get started,
sudo rmmod b43
You may get a message that b43 is not installed and won't be removed.
This is OK, we are just making sure its not there.
Now Paste what is between the following lines.
They will remove other possible drivers including the repositories wl STA
driver and
reinstall the Broadcom Universal STA driver you have built which Includes 80211
security

sudo rmmod brcmsmac
sudo rmmod ssb
sudo rmmod bcma
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe lib80211
sudo modprobe cfg80211
cd //
sudo insmod wl.ko
cd ~
exit
_
after this your hardware should work.
_
I know there is a way (UPSTART), to make the updates not install the the
repositories wl kernel module.
I just want to get this out there because I have spent too much time and too
many days solving this again and again and ... .
_
In Multiple WAPs under one login,
WAP keys are not managed correctly and may only connect at the original WAP
location where you set up the wireless connection.
Run the scripts above and it will reset to your new WAP location.
(you might need to edit wireless connections and uninstall that wireless
configuration)
Some Background:
There was a security flaw in 'WPA & WPA2 Enterprise' wireless security protocol.
It was fixed with an added layer of encryption, in the initiation of your
wireless connection.
I feel that not all clients/servers have updated to this correctly.
_
System broken?
Get to GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader).
Boot and hold 'esc' key. Select other options for UBUNTU.
Choose a previous kernel version. Try any.
Just booting again to the default has sometimes fixed problems.
_
Hardware not supported ?
=> try searching for the "fwcutter" method.
"fwcutter" used to work for my newer brcm 4321 hardware, but
updates now prevent my hardware from working even with this method.
"fwcutter" still works for my older hardware.
