    Re: HOWTO: Broadcom 4318 Wireless Cards

    I've got it working! I seem to have to do sudo ifupeth1 after rebooting but I really don't mind that at all and I could probably script it to do automatically!

    My settings are like so for any who find them useful:

    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    Code:
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=0
    
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=2
    fast_reauth=1
    
    network={
           ssid="wlan-ap"
           scan_ssid=1
           proto=WPA
           key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
           pairwise=TKIP
           psk=2e6xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    }
    
    # Home
    network={
            ssid="linksys"
            key_mgmt=NONE
    	priority=2
    }
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/default/wpasupplicant
    Code:
    ENABLED=1
    OPTIONS="-w -i eth1 -D ndiswrapper -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
    Code:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    address 127.0.0.1
    netmask 255.0.0.0
    
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    
    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
    
    auto eth2
    iface eth2 inet dhcp
    
    auto ath0
    iface ath0 inet dhcp
    
    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
    I realise i've got an extra entry in the last part that I don't need but it works so i'm not gonna fiddle!

    Thankyou all so much!

    Cool,

    mine seems to automatically connect, I don't think it does it straight away, but it does eventually!

    ran the script and now my wireless card (ie. eth1) isn't detected at all. Help?

    ran sudo iwlist eth1 scan and iwconfig and i get this

    mshen10@hacker-laptop:~$ sudo iwlist eth1 scan
    eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.

    mshen10@hacker-laptop:~$ iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    sit0 no wireless extensions.

    I can't help, but this is what happened to me as well. Is this common?!
