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

Larry,

The behavior is pretty weird. I explain:

1) Wrote the old SPROM back while the card was connected. Everything
still worked fine. Through knetworkmanager I disabled/enabled wireless
and then it refused to connect again. *BUT* if I do a "ifconfig wlan0
down; ifconfig wlan0 up", then, it connects again.

2) Wrote the new SPROM while the card was connected, and everything was
fine. Then exactly same behavior.

3) Wrote the first set back to SPROM and same as above.

I all cases connectivity remains when changing the SPROM until I
disable/enable the wireless through KNetworkmanager, when it's lost.
>From here, in some cases I regain connectivity by disabling/enabling
wireless through knetworkmanager, or by using ifconfig (not sure if
there's any difference, but that's what happen).

Best thing, I can manage to have the wireless working playing with the interface up/down.
Worst thing, I cannot manage to have the wireless auto-"up and running" right after reboot (which is quite bad for my 4 years old daughter when trying to do onlime gaming :-))

Ideas?
