I have an ASUS WL-138G V2 PCI wireless card with the following lspci stamp:
02:07.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
When I load B43 (have the b43-fwcutter) firmware all installed, I keep getting the dreaded:
Apr 10 14:19:29 hero kernel: [ 115.595095] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:29 hero kernel: [ 115.794734] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:30 hero kernel: [ 115.994576] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:06:25:f6:ed:f8
Apr 10 14:19:30 hero kernel: [ 116.194421] wlan0: authentication with AP 00:06:25:f6:ed:f8 timed out
after trying WEP, WPA2 Personal and open network, I decided to go back to BCM43xxx (old driver). I installed the firware and now my card works fine over an open network. WEP secured network is really slow.
This is much better than B43 kernel module. BTW, I removed b43 and ssd modules.
Kernel using is:
Linux hero 2.6.24-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Apr 8 00:33:51 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
This was a fresh install from the Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Beta CD with all the updates as of 22:49 UTC (April 10)
