><i> Having earlier successfully installed and used 64-bit Mageia-2 on the
</I>><i> Samsung NC110 netbook, I today did a clean install of Mageia-3-Alpha2
</I>><i> (retaining the Mageia-2 /home).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> All went well, though the process to get the Broadcom driver set up was
</I>><i> quite lengthy. (Happened automatically, once I had enabled the non-free
</I>><i> repository and hit 'Configure' in the Network Centre.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Sadly, although the WiFi finds the router's SSID, it fails
</I>><i> (repeatedly) to Connect. (WPA key checked multiple times.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The wireless adapter is a Broadcom Corp'n BCM 43225 802.11b/g/n, which
</I>><i> worked fine under Mageia-2.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> In the same physical position*, my Toshiba laptop (running Mandriva
</I>><i> 2010.2) autoconnects on boot. (*The router is less than 3 ft away.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 'uname -a' shows "kernel 3.6.2-desktop-1.mga3".
</I>><i>
</I>><i> MCC/Software shows the following 'broadcom' items installed:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> dkms-broadcom-wl
</I>><i> broadcom-wl-kernel-desktop-latest
</I>><i> broadcom-wl-kernel-3.6.2-desktop-1.mga3
</I>><i> broadcom-wl-kernel-3.5.5-desktop-0.rc1.1.mga3
</I>><i>
</I>><i> In an effort to find a solution, I then did the folllowing:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - Removed all those broadcom items
</I>><i> - Installed the kernel 3.6.2-netbook-1.mga3 (i.e. 'latest')
</I>><i> - Installed broadcom-wl-kernel-latest (to get latest driver)
</I>><i> - Rebooted
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Result: Same as before: The wireless adapter finds the only SSID, but
</I>><i> fails to connect.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> N.B. Mageia-2 on the same netbook had no such problem.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Anyone any ideas, please, as to how to recover the situation?!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> (I have raised a bug report (7844))
</I>same problem here with a HP laptop.
# lspcidrake -v | grep Wireless
wl : Broadcom Corporation|BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN
Controller [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:14e4 device:4727 subv:103c subd:1483)
(rev: 01)
btusb : Broadcom Corp|Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth [Wireless|Radio
Frequency|Bluetooth] (vendor:0a5c device:21b4)
in addition i cannot have a wireless connection when configure through
the gui,with or without network manager (no problem when configuring
with the wireless tools from the cmdline) and as author said no
automatic reconection; even after a suspend to ram.
and the network icon disapeared from the taskbar (KDE)
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.6.2-desktop-1.mga3 #1 SMP Wed Oct 17
20:45:11 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have also to say that my usb mouse doesn't survive a suspend/resume (i
have to unplug and replug it)!
no problem with the touchpad though.
