[wireless] Broadcom hybrid module
sebelk:
Hi,
First, kudos to TC team for this great distro.
I've installed TC on a usb stick I've tried to run on a notebook with wireless network card Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01). I've loaded wireless extensions and of course wl.tcz. I've followed the instructions of info:
sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip
sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_wep
sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_ccmp
sudo modprobe wl
But wlan0 is not working, also I've tried unloading old b43 modules and its dependencies and didn't worked either.
Should I use old driver b43 and its firmware? Most distros use wl instead b43.
Thanks in advance!
Juanito:
What sort of wireless protocol are you using, open, wep, wpa, or?
Does dmesg give any clues as to the problem?

The following is the link to dmesg output:
http://pastebin.com/PkaBGBE7
When I unloaded b43 module and modprobed wl only dmesg added:
--- Code: ---lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP'
lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP'
wl: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
--- End code ---
Thanks in advance!
Juanito:
on my machine the wl driver uses eth1 rather than wlan0, did you try eth1?
Edit:
--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh -e

tce-load -i /mnt/sda1/tce/wireless/wl.tcz

sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip
sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_wep
sudo modprobe lib80211_crypt_ccmp
sudo modprobe wl
#
sleep 5
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "myssid"
sudo iwconfig eth1 key restricted 12:34:56:78:9A:BC:DE:F1:23:45:67:89:AB

Thanks Juanito, but eth1 even doesn't exist on my system. I mean, if I unload b43 and load wl, there is no wireless interface.
Are you blacklisting b43 module at boot?
