Broadcom 4353 extremely frequent disconections

[lixo1]

Dear all,

I would like to know your opinion about my Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 (rev 01)

I installed broadcom-sta driver, and knetworkmanager, the wifi is detected and I can connect to internet.
But it's extremely hard to connect to internet, and if it connects then immediately disconnects.

So after some search, I'm setting by hand the option "iwconfig eth1 power off", with this option I can connect and stay connected.

So my questions are:
1) how can I set power off option at boot / login?
2) is there some better solution to this issue?

Thank you very much for any kind of help!

If you want to issue a command at boot, you can use /etc/conf.d/local.start .

The broadcom-sta driver is of rather poor quality. It is reported to break suspend/powersaving. An opensource replacement will be included in kernel 2.6.37.

Great, I just installed brcm80211 and it works like a charm, fast and good!
Thanks.
