hi every one
i recently installd arch and i have problem making my dell 1564 broadcom bcm4312 wireless card to work properly.
i first used b43 method and wireless works and i could surf the web with wireless but after afew seconds wireless disconnects and endlessly prompt for network key even if i type it correctly.
then i used wl driver and wireless network shown and i can connect to networks without problem.no password prompt dialog shown and connection seams to be stable.but the problem is that i can ping website and ip addresses but can't browse the web.
for example ping -c 3 google.com works, but wget or firefox wont work.wget say:
http requset sent, awaiting for respond... i'm really confused because the wl works fine on my ubuntu install.
please help me
thank you

Ubuntooslow makes you download the b43-fwcutter to get the silly firmware file. I think its' the same package name in [core]. All you need to get this gem working is the files that populate the b43 and b43-legacy directories of the /lib/firmware directory from installing b43-fwcutter. I can get it to work with iwconfig/dhcpcd or similar or just using the wicd package. I don't even use the ndiswrapper.

I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

I had a heck of a time getting my 4306 to work but what really got it going is following this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/B4 … cm80211.29
and this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless
I tried a few Network Managers, trying to keep things as light as possible but honestly, networkmanager was worth whatever overhead it imposes on the system because it is fast and painless. If you use a compatible DE, you may wish to try the 'NetworkManager Applet'.
As you will read in the tutorials, it is IMPERATIVE that you have only one daemon and one manager running at a time or they will block each other.
Hope this helps!
Keep trying, it always works in the end.

i use network manager, and tried those links but still have problem with my wireless card.i made it work in arch+kde and broadcom-wl package.but now in gnome 3 i have this problem.

@yaseen,
I have the same model (BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY) on my Dell. It will NOT work with b43 driver. I tried it with many different settings and had same problem as you.
Instead use broadcom-wl driver https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514.
Before you do anything remove b43 packages from your machine and optionally blacklist b43 driver.
Please read instructions here before you do anything : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Br … roadcom-wl
This driver works well and I had only minor problems.
1. It prints some error messages on all tty (there is a dirty patch on AUR page for the driver that will solve it)
2. It reports the signal's power wrongly.
Good luck.

thank you andreasmk2
i tried broadcom-wl but the problem is that i can see networks, connect and even ping websites but can't browse web.it is very strange because i used broadcom-wl on arch and it worked.now in this new installation i have this problem.ping works but no http access.i have no firewall and it is a fresh arch install.
any idea how to troubleshoot this problem?

@yaseen
First check how many interfaces you have connected to lan. Is it only BCM card or you also have second interface? If you have more than one cards, disconnect everything but BCM. If you still have the problem please paste the output of
$ lsmod
and
$ lspci -vnn

it is my only bcm card

@yaseen
Modules seems properly loaded. Probably the power of wifi card is too high, and it causes a lot of noise in communication with access point.
first wget some big file to your temp
for example :
$ wget http://ftp.u-tx.net/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.4.tar.gz
and observe if the speed is normal or the connection established at all
if the speed is ok then probably there is a problem with browser ?
Otherwise try to decrease the power of card using the following
# iwconfig eth1 rate 11M auto
(eth1 is the name of device on my pc, specify your own correctly here, use $ iwconfig
to get list of wifi devices)
try to wget again.
Good Luck
