[Bug 200696] Re: cannot get IP via DHCP
there are three broadcom native modules: b43, bcm43xx, b43legacy. Please test all. ** Summary changed: - cannot get IP via DHCP + [/ndiswrapper] cannot get IP via DHCP -- [ndiswrapper] cannot get IP via DHCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

that said, please test this in hardy. maybe use a livecd of the latest alpha in case you cannot upgrade your system.

could you please try to not use ndiswrapper, but the native broadcom drivers? ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- cannot get IP via DHCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 200696] Re: cannot get IP via DHCP
I tried it before deciding to install ndiswrapper. The connection does not beyond 6 Mbps even when I sit next to the AP. I checked in my office and it connects without a problem. But I need to check at home as well since the behavior differs based on wired ethernet being connected or not at boot time. For ex: my NIC works when I connect the cable during boot up. But if I connect it after boot, it does not. I will send another email once I am home.

[Bug 200696] Re: cannot get IP via DHCP
Ok, here are the observations with b43 driver b43 loads and sees access points. But the number of access points seen with b43 are much less than ndiswrapper. ex: with ndiswrapper, i can see 10 APs but with b43 I can see only my own, just one. However, no IP can be obtained on wlan0. I did not go through the steps I mentioned above to get an IP. When I unload b43 and do the above steps, I see all APs and can get IP by following above procedure. Hence I guess the problem is not with the wlan driver but the DHCP. Let me know if you need any more info.

[Bug 200696] Re: cannot get IP via DHCP
OK ... really starting to affect my productivity. Last two times, I was not able to get IP no matter what I did. Here is the only way I can get an IP: 1) connect the NIC 2) boot up 3) I get IP on both wlan and eth0 regardless of the driver I use if eth0 is connected. I have to reboot to Vista to get my work done. Somehow this DHCP problem seems to be carrying from release to release. :( -- cannot get IP via DHCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
