I was having sid working wifi. Now I reinstalled sid. Now wifi is not
working. I am now finding bcm43xx module is loaded most probably by
udev/hal. It creates eth1 wifi device. I have previously made
ndiswrapper and it was working wpa-psk key system.
now also
lvgdell600m:/var/log# lsmod|grep ndis
ndiswrapper 163952 0
usbcore 112580 6 ndiswrapper,hci_usb,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
lvgdell600m:/var/log# ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present
lvgdell600m:/var/log# cat /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
but when I try
lvgdell600m:/var/log# iwconfig wlan0 essid MT841
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device
is it caused by bcm43xx module? if so is it better to remove bcm34xx and work with ndiswrapper.
How to remove bcm43xx
Or work with bcm43xx. If so how to make wpasupplicant work with it. my router is using wpa-psk key for clients.
