Hi,

well, i have here a macbook pro. Unfortunately the WLAN - Card doesn't work.
Here is lspci:
Code:
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)


My Kernel is configured like this example:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Broadcom_43xx#Kernel_Configuration
Code:
 Networking -->
   Wireless -->
      <M>   Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
      [*]     Enable full debugging output
      <M>     IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption (802.1x)
      <M>     IEEE 802.11i CCMP support
      <M>     IEEE 802.11i TKIP encryption
      <M>     Software MAC add-on to the IEEE 802.11 networking stack
      [*]       Enable full debugging output

Code:
 Device Drivers -->
   Network device support -->
      Wireless LAN -->
        [*] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
        <M>   Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support
        [*]     Broadcom BCM43xx debugging (RECOMMENDED)

Here is the complete .config of my 2.6.25-r6 gentoo-sources kernel: http://nopaste.biz/46338

Then i installed ndiswrapper:
Code:
poseidon ~ # ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
   device (14E4:4328) present


But ifconfig shows only this message:
Code:
poseidon ~ # ifconfig
eth0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:1F:F3:50:EB:B6 
          inet Adresse:192.168.2.39  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Maske:255.255.255.0

          Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000
          RX bytes:6428988 (6.1 Mb)  TX bytes:886428 (865.6 Kb)
          Interrupt:17

          inet Adresse:127.0.0.1  Maske:255.0.0.0

          Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)


and here is iwconfig:
Code:
poseidon ~ # iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.


Here is a part of dmesg:
Code:

Could you please post the output of the following?

Code:
lspci -vv


and

Code:
ifconfig -a


Sometimes ifconfig will not display your devices correctly. I had this issue upgrading my home server to gigabit recently.

If lspci and ifconfig -a show that the device is present, do the following:

Code:
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth1


You should be then able to run the device through the default runlevel, and use /etc/conf.d/net to configure it.

(Caveat - I use OS X on my macbook pro, and my gentoo networking experience is rooted entirely in cabled ethernet)

Hi averoxus


b43 won't work for this chipset. you need ndiswrapper, the driver from the osx dvd and an unencrypted access point... i only got wpa2 working for two days on mine, now dhcpcd keeps timing out...If you manage to get it working with wpa let me know.

thanks
