BCM43228 Not showing up.

[coreplayer2]

If it fails is there a way to see why it failed?

Since all output of wifi.sh -a  was redirected to " /tmp/wifi.log " then I'd start by looking there

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/bin/wifi.sh -a 2>&1 > /tmp/wifi.logthe " > " redirects output and overwrites any previous output to wherever specified, otherwise output goes to the terminal

You should always check dmesg for hint's
At the command line enter

Code: [Select]

dmesg

[patrikg]

And why not just add > that will append to the file.

Code: (bash) [Select]

/usr/local/bin/wifi.sh -a 2>&1 >> /tmp/wifi.log

Hi Patrick,
I think the intent was to write once, since the error would be the same each event and only repeat itself..

[coreplayer2]

As for dmesg, I dont know what I'm looking for.

You can scroll to the end of the screen for the connection errors

Ok try to get the last 10 or 20 lines (or 50 lines if needed)

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -10
Also use Misalf's suggestion to change eth0 to wlan0

Also check to see if any conflicting modules are loaded accidentally:

Code: [Select]

lsmod | grep "brcmsmac\|ssb\|wl\|b43\|bcma"
Also post the output of

Code: [Select]

lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
Then post the outputs so we can help.

Please enclose the output in code tags to make it easier to read thanks
select the text and click the insert code button above.


FYI  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/

[coreplayer2]

the wl drivers appear to be the latest, but you can always try the b43 (if it supports your card) and latest firmware to see if that makes a difference..

[patrikg]

OK, my bad. Sorry for confusing.

I'll try that later. I guess eth* = eth1 and wlan* = wlan0

[Misalf]

I guess eth* = eth1 and wlan* = wlan0

In your case, yes.
The asterisk is a placeholder for any character, so all ethernet devices from 0 to 9 will be checked if they are actually wifi devices and renamed accordingly to wlanX, where X is the next free number (well, kind of. There could be another loop added to make the numbering more reliable but that shouldn't matter for you now).

[Misalf]

BTW, you may want to use code tags when you post the output of commands to make it easier to read
[ code ]blah blah[ /code ]
(without the spaces inside the brackets).
