I am having trouble getting the BCM4306 to work with WPA (works fine under WEP).
I get the following:

Code:
# wpa_supplicant -w -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -dd
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable


That just keeps repeating.

From dmesg:
Code:
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,05/26/2005, 3.120.27.0) loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5
ndiswrapper: using irq 5
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:1b:54:be using driver bcmwl5, configuration file 14E4:4320.5.conf
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK


So it appears to support WPA_PSK with TKIP (what i am using)

Here is the wpa_supplicant config file (keys removed)
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
#ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="xxxxxxxx"
        psk="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA
}


Can anyone offer any suggestions. I would really like to get this working.

Thanks

Try bringing the interface up first

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up

That is soooooo Wierd.

I booted into gentoo again to try your suggestion and it worked first time. The baselayout script just worked.

Amazing, just hope it keeps working as i dont have a clue why (gotta love computers)
