[solved] BCM4312 works in knoppix 7, not in arch

Hi All,

I have a dell vostro 1720 I am trying to get wireless working with networkmanager.
When I boot the laptop with knoppix, networkmanager detects the card, and connects to my wireless router without problems.

Long story short: Networkmanager applet dumpes core when I try to connect to my router, and I have no network connection, until I plug in my network cable.

the following information comes from knoppix:

What could be the problem? What configuration files on knoppix can I examine?

Re: [solved] BCM4312 works in knoppix 7, not in arch

It would be more useful if you also provided the equivalent Arch outputs for comparison, but my guess is you haven't installed the required firmware.

I will now try to setup a wireless link with the cli method, so I can pinpoint the problem more accurately.

Re: [solved] BCM4312 works in knoppix 7, not in arch

Hi All, I have now tried the manual method, but I could not get a list of accesspoints. Here are the commands I've issued:

[root@inge ingeborg]# ip link 
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp8s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:26:b9:a3:eb:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
    link/ether c4:17:fe:46:43:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

[root@inge ingeborg]# ip link set wlan0 down
[root@inge ingeborg]# iw wlan0 set type ibss
[root@inge ingeborg]# ip link set wlan0 up

Jul  7 20:54:02 inge kernel: [24050.033571] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

[root@inge ingeborg]# iw dev wlan0 scan
[root@inge ingeborg]# 
[root@inge ingeborg]# iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0     No scan results
[root@inge ingeborg]# rfkill list all
6: phy1: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
9: hci0: Bluetooth

I'll now try to reload the kernel driver, I did got a list of accesspoints at an earlyer attempt.
Regards,
Cedric

In this post I see ssb should not be loaded, but on my system, it is:

Re: [solved] BCM4312 works in knoppix 7, not in arch

If you are okay with proprietary software (specifically a binary blob that you are using for b43 anyway), maybe you should try the broadcom-wl package.  The one in the AUR has recently been updated to work with kernel 3.10, so I am unsure if it will still build against the 3.9.9 kernel.  But it would certainly be worth checking out anyway.  I think if it doesn't you can check here for previous version, or more specifically, previous patches.

I have reloaded the kernel driver, but it did not change the problem.

Re: [solved] BCM4312 works in knoppix 7, not in arch

Wireless network now works via NetworkManger. I have updated my kernel (and the rest of the system) from 3.9.8 to 3.9.9, rebooted, and I have entered the key into network manager.

I still don't understand why, but my problem is fixed.
Thanks for your help,
Cedric
