Kernel = 2.6.19 SMP
bcmwl5 firmware = 4.10.40.0
Devscape bcm43xx_d80211 driver = Latest git pull
Wireless card =  Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI 
Card (rev 01) (PCI-E)

I seem to be having a problem associating with my AP--everything appears 
fine and I can bring my wireless adapter up (the LED lights up 
correctly), and I don't see complaints about firmware/IRQs in the dmesg 
output.  I am able to see operating APs with an "iwlist wlan0 scan", but 
I am unable to connect to the AP, with or without WEP encryption enabled 
(tried none, hex and ascii; nothing worked).  This is with the latest 
wireless-dev pull and a vanilla 2.6.19 kernel with "irqpoll" option 
enabled, otherwise it misbehaves.  I would be happy to give more 
information if requested, or try different kernel/firmware options.

Here I have provided my dhclient connect attempt output with the 
relevant tcpdump.  Thank you greatly for your time.

I started playing with wireless-dev's bcm43xx-d80211 recently and
noticed that I had to set the frequency manually.  When I did that,
setting the ap manually caused the card to associate immediately.

Here's the sequence of commands I run.  (The driver seems stable on my
hardware, so I've only had to do this twice in the last week, and then
only for reasons unrelated to the driver.)

 ip link set up wlan0
 iwlist wlan0 scan
 iwconfig wlan0 essid $essid key $wep_key
 iwconfig wlan0
(note frequencies differ)
 iwconfig wlan0 freq $freq_from_iwlist_scan
 iwconfig wlan0 ap $ap_mac_address
 dhclient wlan0

That sounds suspiciously like the driver either doesn't have the correct
scan results to be able to pick the AP's frequency, or is not correctly
searching those scan results to find it...  If the AP is in the scan
list, the driver should definitely be able to find & set the frequency
for the AP, _unless_ you've previously specified a non-zero frequency
for iwconfig ethX freq [1].  Do you see your AP in the 'iwlist wlan0
scan' output?

dan

[1] with WEXT, if you've specified a fixed frequency with iwconfig wlan0
freq XXXX, the driver should stay locked to that frequency until it is
told to unlock with iwconfig wlan0 freq 0.

Yes, this is how I noticed that iwconfig was reporting a different
frequency to that listed in iwlist scan.

I guess the speed problem is due to the general state of BCM4318
support, as mentioned by the developers.

I'm glad the frequency thing isn't some weird glitch that only I am
experiencing though.

My card (a 4306) seems to be running at 11Mbps.  No idea how to change
it: iwconfig doesn't report the current rate (I had to go digging in
sysfs) and trying to change it with iwconfig fails with "Operation not
supported".

Here's the signal info:

        Link Quality=228/100  Signal level=-32 dBm  Noise level=-70 dBm

The machine is about 3 metres from the AP.

A quick test just incase the information is somehow helpful... I moved 
to within two meters of my AP with nothing blocking the way--the link 
quality jumped up to 46/100 (vs 3/100 5m away and a wall blocking), 
though there was no increase in speed (still limited to ~120 kilobits/s).

Before:  Link Quality=3/100  Signal level=-73 dBm  Noise level=-66 dBm

After: Link Quality=46/100  Signal level=-49 dBm  Noise level=-69 dBm

Has it ever worked? I'm curious because the PCI-E chips are 4318s which
are known to not work properly due to missing/wrong TX power
calibration.

I've only had the laptop (Compaq V6000Z series) for about a week, so I'd 
be unable to tell you if the driver had worked before, but I seem to 
have had the same problem that Paul Collins did pertaining to frequency 
mismatch.  Setting it manually to the value "iwlist" gave me for the AP 
makes it work, albeit at very slow speeds (driver issue?).  I might have 
been mistaken about the PCI-E, the lspci -n gives me...

...although I could have sworn I read somewhere that this series uses

4311 is pci-e though, iirc. Linux just shows pci-e like pci devices.

looks like pci-e capabilities to me..
