Hi everyone!
I am in a state considering to install windows again.
A little ackground: I bought an HP 2133 mininote and got arch installed and almost full working. Ive got two problems left and that is the graphic card Chrome 9 "that doesnt belong in this section but just to mention it" and the wireless card.
I can live without fully working graphic card for awile but not thes that it wireless.
The problem with the wirless is that its connection disappears, it dissapears if I exit X and startx again, and it disappears after some minutes when I just hanging around and surfing or playing or wathever. The time varies.
To temporarly solve it when it disappears I have to reboot the computer.
Without this working I cant stay with Arch until I got this fixed so I hope you guys can help me.
lspci tells me:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)
wich according to the wiki if I checked it right should be the broadcom-wl driver that I installed from AUR using yaourt.

Im using the networkmanager to setup my wireless settings cause I havent yet understand the standard way to setup wpa-psk encryption so the networkmanager seemed easier.
At home I setup my wireless with wpa-psk and at work I use my phone with Windows Mobile Wifi Router to setup an not protected network and in both case the connection disappears.
Now I dont know what more info I can get for you so if it is anything more I can output more than lspci and lsmod tell me. Im going to answer as soon as possible.
I also think this thread is important to others with the HP 2133 who wants to try out Arch. I hope in the future the wiki will include an HP 2133 specifik page to get this wireless driver and the Chrome9 graphic card to work properly.
Edit: When I was going to post this message the connection had disappeared but luckily this time it could reconnect, happends sometimes :D
Thx in advance!
