Hello, I have an QX310 laptop with Broadcom 4313 wireless card. Everything worked smoothly until a recent upgrade. Now I can scan networks but when I try to connect the authentication times out. I'm using brcmsmac module to handle the card, which is listen in MODULES in my rc.conf. The card works under Windows 7 on the same machine.

are you using wicd by any chance? I experienced the same problems recently due to an apparent bug with wicd. I switched to netcfg and can connect to the internet via wifi without an issue.

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.

Hi, the problem is solved, frankly speaking I don't know how. I changed encryption algorithm on my wireless router from AES to AUTO and my wifi on laptop started working again. The interesting part is that it is still working when I switched back to AES.

Thanks for your interest. Anyhow, when it was not working it showed network list in wicd, so I guess iwlist scan would work to. Apart from wicd, I tried to connect through netcfg and then through plain wpa_supplicant. Each time it failed to authenticated with my network as though it didn't receive any data from the router (though I put my laptop in the same room). As I wrote Win7 on the same laptop and my android phone connected without any problems.
