I have seen some indications that my Broadcom B43 *ought* to work with the kernel's b43 driver, but I've never managed to get it working on my own. I'd love to be able to switch away from the broadcom-wl package is possible. Using a kernel from a few days ago, 3.7.9 and the b43-firmware package from AUR I only get as far as connecting to my router (at least that's what NetworkManager says), but then I can't actually connect to any site. If I then bring down the network and then bring it back up again the connection to the router will fail (NetworkManager keeps asking for the password). Any suggestions on what might be causing this, and what I should try next? /M % lspci -nn|grep Broadcom 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Wireless network uses WPA2 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
