Hi folks :-) debian testing with kernel 2.6.27.9 and last stable version of ndiswrapper (1.53). Macbook 4.1 with wireless so: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) I correctly compiled ndiswrapper and I using win driver bcmwl5.inf: the wifi network works but only 700Kb/s in download :-/ using other wifi ethernet the network speed is almost 2,0Mb/s, so access point is ok. There's a problem with my linux client but I'd like how probe it. Any idea? Thanks! Pol |

doesn't anyone else find this strange as well? i use ndis for connecting to wireless on my mbp4,1 on 2.6.27 through network manager... however the access points need to be visible since i can not connect to a hidden ssid still... this forces me to the shell to start wpa_supplicant manually and wait several minutes till it finally connects, but i digress... so why is it that the bcm driver hasn't been sorted? you figure in today's world, even though its "unsecured", this would be a huge win to stabilize wireless... running one less service, ndis, is always a big a positive... call me crazy, but just the way osx comes in and out of sleep mode and reconnects to networks so rapidly lately has been very attractive... if osx does it, why can't we? i don't see why not, we're a brilliant community... its the same hardware osx is using, theoretically we should be able to replicate the speed... just dreaming a little dream... cheers paul On 01/09/2009 12:14 PM, Justin P.

As for wpa_supplicant, try using NetworkManager Whatever ifupdown is using causes wpa_supplicant to work properly, as opposed to wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i* -c *. maybe bcm does work. have you tried lkml? They can help you allot more than I. regards; Justin P. Mattock |
