Hi All,

i do not get my Wlan Card with BCM4303 Chip to work.

My System is Debian Testing 32-bit with Kernel 2.6.25-2 from Debian,
therefore i am using the Driver b43legacy.

I tried to connect this Wlan Card with my Wireless Printer.
It is a Ad-Hoc Connection with,
SSID=3Dkleopatra
Channel=3D10
Authentification=3Dnon
Encryption=3D128-bit Wep

Here it comes the Outout from <lspci>,
02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 12f3
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17
	Memory at e0104000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=3D8K]
	Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
	Kernel modules: ssb


I tried some Howtos, but it didn't work.

<ifconfig> show's the following,

<iwconfig> shows this,

I am not sure whether this Card is active, because <dmesg> show me,

Another funny Thing is, that i can execute <iwlist wla0 scanning> and=20

The Adress seems to change sometimes ??? I don't know why.

Your card can receive, but not transmit due to a problem with the 
rfkill switch handling in b43legacy. I'm working on this problem with 
a Ubuntu user, and will post patches as soon as the problem is fixed.

I hope i can try to get my Card to work.
If you need some Messages then let me know.

The Ubuntu user and I have discovered that his computer needs the 
hp-dmi module that is part of the mainline kernel since 2.6.27-rc6. 
This module handles the rfkill button that does not produce a 
scancode. I think you will need to get that one for you to be able to 
turn the radio on.

So the hp-dmi Module is only available in 2.6.27 ?

Hi Larry,

i thought it would be helpful to post my Messages. :-)
If not ignore this Message.:-)

I am using the NetworkManager Applet to show and connect to Wlan Networ=

My wireless Button shines blue when my Linux System starts.
However after i login onto myGnome Desktop and after some time the=20
NetworkManager Applet shows me my Wireless Network.

dmesg says,

You should check the posting at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0809.3/1423.html.
Perhaps you can activate your radio by software, even if the button
does not work.

Hi All,

My actually Sydtem is:
HP Pavilion Laptop zv5000
Debian Lenny(Testing)
Linux Kernel 2.6.28 from kernel.org
Broadcom Wlan card BCM4303

My System doesnt work at all.

My Boot Messages are:

Actually i am looking whether i missing some Kernel
Options.

As we can see in the Boot Messages i have to activate the RF-kill
Button by pressing, but this does not activate my wlan.

Any Ideas?

Regards Markus

I forgot to wrote my Kernel Options
CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=m
CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGERS=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y

CONFIG_RFKILL=m
CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT=m
CONFIG_INPUT_POLLDEV=m

My b43legacy Driver is built as modul.

Your log does not indicate that you pressed the button to turn the
wifi on. All we see is that the hardware switch was off.

Is your radio on/off button one that generates a keycode, or does it
need the WMI magic to be detected? If you are running X, then switch
away by CTRL/ALT/F1 and log in. Use the showkey command and press the
radio on/off switch. If it shows a scan code, report it back here. You
get back to X with CTRL/ALT/F7.

You are right. I pressed the Hardware wlan Button, but the LED Light
does not change. And the program <acpi_listen> does not show that
any acpi signal is sended.

I am not sure whether i can watch this signals with <acpi_listen>.

Ok i tried <showkey> during pressing my hardware butto in a VT,
but this shows nothing.
I have "hp Extras" as modul. Other buttons on my Laptop are working.

I can activate/deactivate the wlan led by using the netwotkmanager
applet <nm-applet> under gnome.

What is WMI Magic ?
