Bug Description
I am using a Broadcom 4306 wireless card in my Emachines M6805 laptop. I have installed fwcutter and used it to load the needed files.
I can scan and see my wireless networks.. One is only secured by MAC address and one is secured by 128bit WEP. But I cannot connect to either. I then installed Network manager and nm-applet. I commented out my metwork devices as instructed and it is working fine. It sees my wireless networks, but again simply cannot connect.
On the WEP secured network, it will ask me for the key. I put it in and it never connects. On the MAC Secured network, it doe snot ask for a key but again it cannot connect.
I have included a text file with the various log snippits I have been asked for on the forums.
Ok I cannot find the upload button, but here is the text.
