BCM4306 do not work on powerbook
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:
1) If you are comfortable

Now the WLAN works with the BCM43xx driver for me in Dell X300. This is
great as I don't have to use ndiswrapper anymore.
However, the warning bcm43xx: TODO: Incomplete code in keymac_write() is
still there.

I forgot to say, that the problem occurs on a Dell 600m, and only with
some access points (genrally those requiring a WEP key), it associates
perfectly with some other AP, but the connection get lost very very

Is there any way you can test this with the new restricted device
manager in Gusty Alpha 2. There have a been a lot of changes involving
the firmware for the Broadcom cards that may affect this bug.

On a similar note (this might be a useful data point):
I've been having exactly the same problem (driver recognises the
wireless card, I can scan for networks, but I see a signal quality of 0
and the minimum driver supported value (-73 dBm) for both signal and
noise when I try and associate).
I can confirm this in feisty: Xubuntu, used stock bcm43xx-fwcutter
script from repositories. Not tested very throughly thought since my PB
mostly serves its time as an Ethernet connected server. I have a WPA2
802.11B/G enabled network, but can only browse available networks and no
luck in

Hi effraie,
No luck with your firmware either. Similar behaviour as before, I can
get a DHCP address, but can't ping the gateway, or anything else.
With your firmware, I also get some popup failure dialogs on reboot. The
following panels all failed:
OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_WirelessApplet
Hi effraie,
I've tried the firmware linked from the /usr/share/bcm43xx... script,
firmware taken from a Powerbook running Tiger and a few other places on
the net. Unfortunately I didn't take the firmware off my iBook before
first installing Ubuntu. I've looked around on the installation disks
and
I have an iBook G4 and can't get the wireless to work with feisty.
Wireless was working before the distribution upgrade. I can successfully
do an iwlist and see my AP. I can even get a DHCP lease, but I can't get
any other packets through. A ping to my gateway has 100% packet loss.
There doesn't
did you extract the binary firmware from your apple dvd/partition?
it work well on my ibook

Can someone test this on the latest Feisty so we can see if the last
minute kernel additions have fixed anything.

BCM4306 does not work on my Dell X300 either. Tested with the current
Feisty and the card is not detected on boot. After modprobe bcm43xx I
get following in my dmesg:

I just found a duplicate (#66594). I do not know how I could have missed it the
first time.
It confirms the bug and, more important shows it is a regression from dapper to
edgy.
However, I do not know how to handle duplicates with Malone.

I retried the firwmare extraction with the svn version of bcm43xx-fwcutter

I also tried with the AppleAirPort2 from Effraie and the file in
I have such problems (ibook G4), too.
Sometimes this procedure helps:
killall dhclient
rmmod -v bcm43xx
modprobe -v bcm43xx
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid $YOUR_ESSID
ifconfig eth1 up
dhclient eth1
check, if you have an valid accesspoint (MAC is not 00:00:00) with
iwconfig before you
Tried the procedure, nothing.
However, maybe you get a point since a did not notify that the Access Point is
said Invalid!
But I do not know how to fix that... :/
# iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:X Nickname:Broadcom 4306

the Access Point is said Invalid!
try giving it the essid, than the _mac_ address of the access point:
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid privatewifi2
sudo iwconfig eth1 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
