 |
|
I tried it with iwconfig only, with wpa_supplicant and xsupplicant, but it will not establish a connection - dhcpcd will always timeout.
Actually it will hang in "FORCED AUTHENTICATED" state, which I don't understand, because I have no user/pass to auth with.
Here's the output from the tools...
| Code: |
>iwconfig
eth1
IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"opennet" Nickname:"Broadcom 4311"

>xsup_get_state
Interface eth1 is now in FORCED AUTHENTICATED state.

I do not own broadcom but I know that driver is not the best one.
When you can see the bssid of the router (xx:xx..) then your authenticated like you already stated.
Is dhcp server running on your wlan ap? Did you already tried with another card?
my tips:
- deactivate b/g and set exactly to the mode of ap (b only / g only)
- b is more robust than g but has less transfer
- try to set ip by manual.
for more help post your kernel version, broadcom is a kernel module isn't it?
emerge --info is also interesting!

Yes, the xx:xx.. is a regular bssid from the Router which is running dhcp, as I checked with windows..
I already tried to use the IP, nameserver, gateway from windows, but had no luck.
I tried vanilla and gentoo kernel-sources (2.6.22.6) with the same result.

Did you've found any solution?
What does dmesg says if you perform
or alternatively
As broadcom is kernel module what are your kernel options?
