I'm having trouble getting wifi to work on my hpzv5000 laptop. It has a brodcom BCM4306 (rev 3). I've used b43-fwcutter to get the lastest firmware and its in /lib/firmware/b43. Looking at /var/log/messages b43 seems happy, previously it was complaining that there was no firmware. Now its loading frimware 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10). I do have these two message in the log after booting: kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready NetworkManager: <info> Deactivating device wlan0. Which doesn't look good. When I try to use NetworkManager applet it doesn't present a list of networks and when I Connect to Other Wireless Network I see reasonable output in the log file but invariably I get: NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: link timed out. And it wants me to enter a "new secret", but it probably the link is never up. Also, this is a wpa2 network if that matters. Any help appreciated:) Wink Saville
