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?
hi
i've had this problem before when there are a large number of networks,
the problem i found was that everyone was trying to use the default
channel 6. changing to a different channel fixed the problem
