[SOLVED] Wifi connection keeps re-authenticate BCM43XX and ndiswrapper

xcristi · 10-10-2009, 12:03 PM

Hello everyone,

I have a laptop with a BCM43XX chipset, which I'm trying to make it work using ndiswrapper. Until now I had Slackware 11.0 and I managed to make it work, even if sometimes several network restarts were required. Now I installed Slackware 13.0 and problems occur

First, I tried to use the b43-fwcutter method and to install firmware for b43. Everything was ok, the module was there, but connection keeps re-authenticate all the time. I tried there ndiswrapper with the windows drivers for Broadcom (method used succesfully on the other slack ver), but again the same problem.

Technical details follow:

Code:

ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
	device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: ssb)

Code:

lspci -v | grep Broadcom
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

These are the messages wpa_supplicant throw:

Code:

Slackware 13.0 with default wpa_supplicant 0.6.9, ndiswrapper 1.55.

Anyone, an idea how can I make the connection stable ?
Thanks.

LAST DISCOVERY: w/out encryption the connection seem to be stable (usually I use WPA-preshared key with WPA(AES2)). So it'a a problem related to encryption? :-?

BEST SOLUTION AT THIS TIME

If you have problems with b43 drivers extracted with b43-fwcutter from linuxwireless.com, then grab the archive from here and replace in /lib/firmware/b43 all the files (better empty the b43 folder and then put there the archive contents).

For me (and some several more guys) this was working; the files seem to be the same (archive from omattos and the ones extracted by linuxwireless method) but there are a few differences. As a result, now the connection is pretty stable. Not perfect (sometimes, when it comes back from suspending mode, it takes several shots to get the AP), but it's from far better than the other one.

Case closed.
