Package: bcm43xx-modules-2.6.15-1-powerpc
Version: 20060212-3
Severity: normal

I have ibook G4 1,07Ghz, with airport card:
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

I have installed bcm43xx modules for my kernel, and I used bcm43xx-fwcutter to
extract firmware from my macos partition.

After reading README from driver I made everything as it said: First I
interface up, then iwscan, then iwconfig.

After this It seems that my card is unable to send any data. I can't even ping my
AccesPoint. It seems that card is not sending anything.

However If I run ethereal I can see all packets from my second laptop. 

To make sure that I'm doing everything right with command-line tools I have
installed netapplet package. Which gives simmilar tool to MacOS thing (you
just click on it, and it selects network). But it doesn't help either.

There are no useful information in dmesg. The only thing related to bcm43xx
is:

and it is reapeted many times.

Hi,

are those bugs still present in Linux 2.6.17-1 (which contains bcm43xx
now)? If not, please close.

Regards,

Rene
