[Bug 182716] Re: bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentification with AP doesn't work.

[Anmar Oueja]

Hello Guys:

I did some sniffing around the B43 mailing list and found a lengthy
thread about the ASUS WL-138G v2, which uses Broadcom Corporation
BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev2).

It seems that Asus mucked with the registers (sorry if I am using the
wrong wording).  There is a patch for 2.6.26 kernel but it is more of
"detect this ID then do something specific".. What it boils down to is
that Asus enabled some Bluetooth interference trigger that is causing
B43 kernel module to freak out and that is why it is timing out.

Here it he patch for whoever is interested. Just remember, it is for
2.6.26 kernel  <http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-
dev/2008-April/007330.html>. Also the entire thread if very interesting
and worth a read.  You can get it here
<http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-April/007312.html>

I am not going to fart around with this card any more. I will go and get
me a simpler card for about $25 bucks cause it sounds like ASUS messed
this card up.
