Hi,
[I'm pretty sure this problem is asked many times before, but I tried to
read nearly all google results -- including debian-users ml -- I can
find and tried suggested solutions with no luck.]
I have a HP Pavilion dv6580et notebook with BCM4310 (rev 02) wireless
NIC. I managed to install the related drivers successfully, at least I
think so. Here is some related information:
# lspci -v|grep BCM4310 -A 11

But unfortunately, I couldn't manage to connect wireless AP of the

I'll be really appreciated if anybody can help me to figure out the
problem. (Also documentation pointers are welcome.)
