[arch-general] problems with wifi b43 (broadcom)
Hey all, I am setting up an archlinux on my laptop (Dell Latitude E4300) with Broadcom Wifi: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) I had to load the firmware for the driver so I did from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21690 I can't seem to be able to get an IP. I am including the logs as well. I tried disabling the ipv6 with no luck (so I revert it). I tried with a usb wifi card and it's working fine. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? How did you try to get the ip? dhcpcd? Does manually setting ip wok? Also you need to paste the logs into the message or some pastebin service, Arch's mailing lists stip out any attachments

I am using dhcpd and it's working because against the same router the usb wifi card works. Also I had some progress: I managed to configure and make the Broadcom card work with broadcom-wl drivers (propretiery) According to the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless) though this is not recomended and I would prefer to use the b43 driver. my kernel messages can be found here: http://pastebin.com/gjYG7v9a I assume that dhcpd daemon works fine because on all other interfaces (and even on the wlan0 with wl driver) works fine. I used the firmware from AUR. -- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. #include <stdio.h> int main(){printf("%s","\x4c\x65\x6f\x6e\x69\x64\x61\x73");}

I also have a D4300 and is working fine with b43 driver...i use wicd for network manager.

Does these two models share the same Broadcom Wi-Fi module? Look above for my Wi-Fi module model.

Oops, i've done a typo. It's E4300, not D4300. Yes, we have the same laptop. lspci info (for clarification): 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) and lspci -v: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at f69fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge I only installed b43-firmware package from aur, with latest vanilla kernel.

This is weird.. I did same steps, installed aur package for firmware. I installed the arch on the laptop on Friday. Vanilla kernel.

Update: I read your kernel logs and found that you used an encrypted wireless connection. So I changed my wireless connection to encrypted too (WPA2-PSK) and I couldn't authenticate or get any IP too. So, I removed the b43-firmware package, installed the broadcom-wl rebooted and tried wl instead. It worked. I found here[1] (we have the 14e4:432b PCI-ID) that our wifi card is partially supported by the b43 driver. I'll stay for some time with the proprietary broadcom-wl and see what happens. (It's a shame tho, cause it's the only non-open source package in my system) [1]:http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices P.S.:Sorry again for the wrong info, i have to be more careful in the future.
