Hello All,
I have a broadcom card that only works with the wl kernel driver. I was running an older version of wicd (two updates ago) and I could connect to any network such as WPA WEP and wired. Since the newest two updates, I can not connect to secured networks only unsecured ones. ( and wired, but I think that is a different problem) I suspect that I have a problem with my wpa_supplicant with wicd, but I am unsure. is there anything special that I need to do to connect with the wl driver in WICD?
I dont know what files are associated with this problem, but please let me know what you need.
Thanks,
Levi

What's your card?
I had similar issue with ndiswrapper (kernel2.6.25 broke this driver)
broardcom_wl (form AUR) should fix this, but I didn't check (no WPA networks around)

The card is a BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n. For the driver I used http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312 that guide. When the system boots, I have the kernel wl autoloaded, but I can only connect to unsecured wireless networks. I just realized that I had not added ieee80211_crypt_tkip to the modules loaded at boot, would that allow it to connect?

Also, both my wired card and wireless card are reported as eth0, how do I get my wireless card to be eth1? My wired card is NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe. Any help is very appreciated.

I got the wired internet working, yet I still can not connect to a secured wireless network. I followed the guide on the wiki, yet no luck. Any suggestions?
