Hi,
I'm using the broadcom-wl drivers in the AUR for my MacBook Pro, but I am unable to connect to my wireless network using dhclient. This is what I've tried:
bash-3.2# iwconfig eth1 essid s:<ascii key>
bash-3.2# iwconfig key
key No such device
bash-3.2# iwlist key
lo no encryption keys information.
eth0 no encryption keys information.
eth1 4 key sizes : 40, 104, 256, 128bits
4 keys available :
Error reading wireless keys (SIOCGIWENCODE): Operation not supported
Here is my iwconfig:
bash-3.2# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" Nickname:""

Those errormessages are almost always driver-related. Do you need firmware for your driver/card?
Zl.

I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
It seems that the firmware comes with the driver. I can see all my wireless networks, but I can't connect to any of the encrypted ones. I've tried using dhclient and gnome-network-manager. I can connect to non-encrypted networks and wired networks, but not encrypted wireless. It just times out. Any ideas?
bash-3.2# lspci | grep BCM
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)

Update: I had to reinstall from scratch to get this working. I don't know what the problem was, but reinstalling and then configuring the network access first before I did anything else solved the problem.
