I have a Broadcom chipset wireless card running under F8 (64-bit). I have the correct firmware installed. The wlan0 interface comes up. If I try using the Network setup to connect to a wireless network much of the time it refuses to connect. If I use Wireless Assistant, i get a small list of networks. I can connect to them, but much of the time I cannot get a dhcp address. If I can connect, the connection is spotty and will hang and disconnect often. If I scan the network with Kismet I see a large number of networks in the area, (Many which Wireless Assistant does not see.) Do I need to use the command line to connect? Is there a different dhcp client I should have installed? Is there a known bug here? I had this working in F7. (And FC6 and before.) Any idea what I am doing wrong?
