[solved]broadcom-wl and wpa_supplicant

Dhcpcd keeps timing out on my wireless, Im using broadcom-wl and wpa_supplicant on 2.6.29
I removed broadcom-wl, upgraded te kernel and used a PKGBUILD posted in the aur to get the new broadcom-wl.

I can detect my wireless netwrork, but dhcpcd times out whenever I try to connect...

any ideas?

Re: [solved]broadcom-wl and wpa_supplicant

rolled back to .28
I tried both broadcom-wl and b43 with .29, both allow me to detect my wifi access point but I cannot connect via wpa-supplicant dhcpcd so I assume its a wpa-supplicant issue.

Working wireless,
followed instructions here: http://www.leprosys.info/2009/03/broadc … er-en.html

And wpa_supplicant takes a little while to get started and then run dhcpcd,
need to modprobe both lib80211_crypt_tkip and wl
