Ideas what this world regulatory domain is all about? Suggestions how I can prevent this from happening?

Enabling users to manage the connection and disabling traffic accounting - a somewhat random troubleshooting step, admittedly - has at least made the frequent failures less disruptive by allowing the interface to re-associate in < 1 second.

Failures (i.e., WLAN disassociation) occur more frequently with traffic and with each failure there's a corresponding burst of entries in /var/log/messages:

I have seen similar behaviour. Disabling NetworkManager might fix the problem. First try unticking the "Allow interface to be controlled by Network Manager" box. If that doesn't work, try stopping the NetworkManager system service.

Each alpha/beta release of Mageia-2 brought different problems with my Broadcom wireless card. Sometimes only the free driver would work. Sometimes only the proprietary driver would work. Sometimes nothing would work. Eventually I solved this by replacing the Broadcom card with an Intel one!

I have Broadcom BCM 4311 too.
But in Mageia 1 I used ndiswrapper for it. And it is working without any problem.

Thanks, Ferri. The b43-openfwwf driver works 100% reliably at home (with the Linksys WRT610N) but very badly with the Wi-Fi at Starbucks (SSID=attwifi). I've tested at multiple Starbucks but haven't tes'ted at other locations (or with other AP's) yet. I'll do so later this week and update this thread but, in the mean time, I'll start looking for the Windows driver for the BCM4311.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am also having similar problems with frequent disconnects using the b43-openfwwf driver, including the burst of dmsg output just before it happens. There are a number of other broadcom-related threads in this forum as well (most often regarding problems with broadcom-wl, which I do not have installed), but this one is by far the closest to the behavior I'm seeing with my machine. Usually it reconnects within a few seconds, but sometimes it fails and then won't reconnect unless I reboot, even though I can see my ESSID (and others) on the list of available networks, showing good signal strength. I have the "Allow users to manage the connection", " Start the connection at boot", and "Allow access point roaming" options ticked, but NOT the NetworkManager option.

It seems many people are having success with ndiswrapper, but as I reported in October when I first installed mga2, if I try to configure the connection that way, I always get an error that it is unable to find the ndiswrapper interface. (Right before that error, it tells me the interface is already configured with ssb and asks if I want to continue, in case that means anything.) I've tried using ndiswrapper -i to install the driver at the command line and then modprobe ndiswrapper to start the module, but still get the same result. The output from modprobe -l shows that the driver is installed:

Code: Select all

[john@phobos ~]$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
        device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: ssb)

Any ideas? I'm open to anything, whether it's a way to make b43-openfwwf more reliable, get ndiswrapper working, or something else entirely. And don't worry, I'm not going have a temper tantrum and storm off yelling about how it works on some OTHER distro, as a handful of others have. I'm fully on board with using mga and hunting down a solution to help myself and others!

Thanks,
-John

Here's a sample of the dmsg output around a disconnect/reconnect episode. Next time it disconnects and won't come back, I'll post that output too. Let me know if there are any other logs or files you need to see in the meantime.

Well, first please show the output of

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep NET

For broadcom devices, not all are properly supported by the open source driver/firmware.
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drive ... ed_devices

For ndiswrapper, you should remove the complete connection you have already set up, and then you may need
to modprobe ndiswrapper manually before trying to use it inside one of the drakxtools.

Otherwise you should still be able to use broadcom-wl proprietar driver, no?

According to the table in your link, my chip (14e4:4320, BCM4306 rev 3) is supported by the open source driver. Is that the driver that I'm using? The output from lspcidrake indicates ssb, which seems to be the same thing if I'm reading the rest of the info at that link correctly...

For ndiswrapper, do I just need to delete the existing connection or remove the other installed drivers/modules (b43, ssb) as well? I've tried deleting the connection and creating a new one with ndiswrapper, that's where it tells me it's already configured with ssb and then returns the "unable to find the ndiswrapper interface" error.

I could try the broadcom-wl driver. I don't think I ever had it installed. I got the impression that there were issues with it from some of the other threads, but then again, they could be using different chipsets.

You should take a look at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drive ... en_drivers
You only need to unload the modules, and maybe blacklist them, so they won't get automatically loaded.

You only need to unload the modules, and maybe blacklist them, so they won't get automatically loaded.

My connection dropped again today (first time in several days, so at least it hasn't been frequent), so I played around with this a bit. I deleted the connection in draknetcenter, removed the b43, ssb, and bcma modules, and then manually modprobe'd ndiswrapper. I tried to create a connection using ndiswrapper (which, unlike any previous attempt, was the only choice listed after selecting wireless from the connection type list, and there was no warning about ssb), but it still failed with the message "unable to find the ndiswrapper interface". All the other modules were removed, lsmod confirmed that ndiswrapper was loaded, but draknetcenter still doesn't see it.

On the plus side, when I re-added the b43 module, my connection worked again. In the past, once it died, I never got it to come back without rebooting. Small victories, I suppose.

[hintzy64]

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I wanted to report that I finally found a solution. The disconnects had (thankfully, but inexplicably) dropped off in frequency for several months, so I'd all but forgotten about the problem. But then it randomly came back and was getting pretty disruptive, so I started experimenting with it again.

I still have had zero luck getting ndiswrapper to work ("unable to find the ndiswrapper interface!") and have no idea why, but I went back and re-read the b43 driver page to see if I had missed something. It turns out I had previously followed the directions for "Mandriva 2011 or newer", which have you download version 5.10.56.27.3 of the driver. I should have followed the directions for "3.2 kernel or newer", which use version 5.100.138. I downloaded the updated firmware driver, ran the b43-fwcutter tool, and that did the trick. Doing this temporarily broke starting the connection at boot, but going into MCC and re-configuring the wireless card in harddrake2 fixed that. It's been a couple months now and I haven't lost the connection once.
