Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

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.
