wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot
Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv6 with a Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card. I use NETCFG and before the last kernel upgrade I was able to connect to my home wireless connection at boot without troubles. Now I have to do it manually and I need to try 2 or 3 times to see my connection active.

Re: wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot
Hmm it seems your card now takes longer to connect, the 'deauthenticating by local choice' often means that the default timeout is reached and netcfg disconnects. You can try adding a specific timeout parameter to your netcfg profile:
TIMEOUT=60That doesn't explain why it takes longer to connect than before, but at least you should be able to connect in 1 try again.

Hi,
thank you for your time!
I'v tried adding the timeout line to my profile but it doesn't change nothing 
I could connect at 3rd try.
Any other idea?

I'm sorry, no, this is not really my area of expertise.. I'm sure some people who really know what's going on will chime in any minute now though.

Re: wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot
Kernel modules: bcma, wl, brcmsmac
^^ That's the problem, multiple drivers competing for control of the card. Blacklist bcma and wl. And while you're at it, uninstall broadcom-wl completely.

Hi,
thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have broadcom-wl installed and bcma is already blacklisted.
In addition I could say that it worked before linux 3.0 update.
thank you!

Re: wireless card BCM4313 no connection at boot
I have removed "network-profile" from rc.conf just to reduce the boot time... Waiting for a solution for this problem with netcfg, probably generated by linux 3.0.
Help me please! Thank you in advance.
