Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I'm having difficulty tracking down the issue here, so I'll sum up what I have.  Laptop is a Dell XPS 13 2015 version, with Broadcom networking.  I have broadom-wl-dkms installed, and my networking works fine on all networks except those at school.  Same install worked without issue 3 months ago on eduroam, but now, even though the wireless connection is constant, the internet connection drops out randomly.  I use network manager.   I've included some output from dmesg, which shows what I think is the firmware complaining about the wrong MAC address of an access point.  If let this go for an hour or so, the same message will show with several access point MAC addresses.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I had the same issue with eduroam, the solution for me was just to stop using wl drivers and switching to b43 instead, however if you require further assistance, you need to post your 

 # lspci -vnn

here...

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

Here it is.  I would switch to b43 but from what I've gathered, this particular wifi chip requires wl.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

Hi,

that's funny because I'm having exactly the same issue like mailme45 for some months now but I was too busy to ask for help and just switched to my mobile connection at university. And now I read this. To get the card back working I'm using rfkill block/unblock but after some minutes the internet connections stops working again so this is verry annoying.

Here is some output of what happens:

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I am almost positive that this is a firmware bug, because when I run a live image of Ubuntu 14.04, the wireless works flawlessly on eduroam.  I think this may be the first time the fast as lightening updates afforded by Arch has negatively affected me.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

Have you guys tried downgrading to an older version of broadcom-wl? I remember having had similar problems with eduroam at our school. I think downgrading solved it, but I can't really remember.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

How can I find an older PKGBUILD than what is available via the AUR3 mirror?  I'm fairly certain that the version of broadcom-wl in AUR3 when the changeover to AUR4 happened is the same version as the current one, only with a slightly different PKGBUILD because it was built by a different person.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

If the downloads are still available from broadcom, you'd just change the version number in the PKGBUILD and rebuild.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I just noticed that the latest firmware from Broadcom is nearly a year old.  That means that I had a working connection with the same source only 4 months ago.  Could a different PKGBUILD, using the same source, be the culprit, and introduce a bug?  Because while the AUR3 and AUR4 versions of both broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-dkms are built from seemingly the same source, the PKGBUILDs are not the same.

I'm curious about that, too. Maybe the .install scripts could also be to blame? Or makeflags in the PKBUILD?

Until then: since your original error message complains about the wrong mac address in comparison to one stored in a profile, apparently, 

 [  441.393515] ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Wrong Mac address, mac = 10:8c:cf:b1:41:ed  profile =10:8c:cf:b1:41:e2

maybe there is an old networking profile you could delete?

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

Thanks for the input, it's really appreciated. 
Do you have any idea where I would look for an old profile?  I deleted the profile in Network Manager for eduroam and created a new one.  Is there another location where profiles would be stored?

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I just wanted to chime in to say that I'm having the EXACT same problem as the original poster. I'm on the same machine (xps 13 2015), using broadcom-wl-dkms. My wifi is working perfectly for the most part, and I can connect to any network EXCEPT for eduroam. It's driving me up the wall. This broke for me fairly recently, but I'm having trouble pinpointing exactly what's causing the problem too. My "lspci -vnn" output is identical to the op's.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I'm updating this because I'm fairly certain that Broadcom is the problem here. 

I've decided to stop fighting this battle and just spring for a new wireless card.  As I'm using the Dell XPS 13 (2015) I've purchased the Intel 7265 ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RCZ … ailpages00 ) and will update here if this truly fixes the issue. 

The mainline kernel supports this card, so I'll probably be saving myself future headaches, and certainly will be seeing better performance in the near future.  Hopefully its $30 well spent.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I'm posting because a few others seem to have the same problem and I'm guessing that a solution that won't require buying a new networking card will be welcomed.

For NetworkManager: maybe deleting entries in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections will help?

Also, maybe stopping and disabling the NetworkManager.service, then re-enabling it can help?

Further, in output of systemctl --type=service : maybe several conflicting network services are running?

Stopping, disabling and restarting services such as dhcpcd@interface has helped me in the past.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. The first thing I tried while in school today was stopping, disabling, and then re-enabling the NetworkManager.service. I'm not sure why this didn't occur to me before. I can confirm that this seems to have massively improved the situation, and I've had a stable connection to eduroam since. Before then, it was going down consistently after a few seconds.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

For anyone having this issue, check to make sure you are not using dhclient AND dhcpcd.  I was and after replacing my card, I needed to disable the dhcpcd service to get eduroam to function properly.  NetworkManager is set by default to call dhclient, which I thinik was conflicting with dhcpcd.   I will say that the Intel card seems to provide better battery life and faster connection speeds, and I now have functioning bluetooth.  I'd highly recommend the swap, as mainline kernel support > broadcom-wl, but I think the dhcpcd/dhclient confusion would have caused problems regardless of hardware/firmware.

Same problem here, with MacBookPro/bcmwl driver/eduroam. Any update? Thanks! Martin

That's something I did not try yet. I know dhcpcd can be disabled with systemctl disable dhcpcd, but I cannot do the same with systemctl disable dhcpclient...

This is my network card:

0b:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Apple Inc. AirPort Extreme [106b:008c]
        Physical Slot: 4
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at d7300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: wl
        Kernel modules: ssb, wl

After simply inserting a USB wifi dongle I was able to connect to eduroam, so it's really the driver that is causing problems.

By the way, I had to set ipv6 to link local to be able to establish a connection with eduroam (which succeded). However, I get 'dhcp4 request timed out' after that, i.e. I don't get an ip so I cannot connect to the internet.

Re: Eduroam and Broadcom-wl

I am estatic! Finally got my internal broadcom chip to work on eduroam (got 'DHCPv4 request timed ou't' first).
For the record, this is my chip:

0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)
    Subsystem: Apple Inc. AirPort Extreme
    Physical Slot: 4
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
    Memory at d7300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: wl
    Kernel modules: ssb, wl

To solve the issue, I had to add these kernel parameters: "ifnames=0 modprobe.blacklist=wl"
And unblacklist/enable and install the reverse-engineered b43-driver.
Here it says that the BCM4321 chip is 'partially' supported, but unlike broadcom-wl, b43 actually works on WPA2 networks like eduroam.
