[Bug 37765] Re: [bcm43xx] No matter what it simply will not connect. It scan and sees the networks, but it cannot connect.

Ok Ben, I updated and tried again. Much MUCH closer!!!! 
It actually connected to a MAC address secured only wireless network. I have not tried other configs yet, I will tomorrow.

But it still does not get online. It is able to connect, but it reports a 0% connection and still no IP. I am 3 foot from the router, and have and excellent signal for at least another 200 foot diameter in windows.

Below I have my dmesg, ifconfig and iwconfig readouts.

dmesg

I am not sure what you changed, but it almost worked!!! Please keep up the good work and cut my cable :D
