Good evening folks,

I've problems with setting up WPA2/AES at my HP Pavilion ze2000
(EH708EA#ABD) notebook. It's running Fedora 7 with any updates
(2.6.21-1.3228.fc7, i686 architecture). Below are the facts from the
notebook itself and what I already tried.

# lspci | grep Wireless
05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company MX6125
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Latency: 64
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 3
        Region 0: Memory at c0204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

I installed ndiswrapper via "yum install ndiswrapper kmod-ndiswrapper -y"
from Livna without any error. After that I followed the typical install
method, because the standard bcm43xx-mac80211 kernel module driver doesn't
work for me (I'm not able to enable the kill switch, my notebook provides).

# rmmod bcm43xx-mac80211

Greetings,

Hi Robert, you have a kernel problem. It might be due to the fact that Red Hat got your driver from Broadcom as a Fedora Core 3 rpm! And your driver has likely been the same since then. I find that driver in the Fedora 7 update kernel.

To solve the conflict between the two drivers is well above my experience.
