I'll keep my eye out for this method to improve ). I plan on moving files over my network a lot :p.ĮDIT 3: Also, I'm running x86_64 F7 with the latest kernel.ĮDIT 4: Meh, ndiswrapper is working great and easily, so I'm gonna go with that. Is the speed problem still present with this method as well? If I can only get 54Mbps with ndiswrapper, then I'll take that route. I don't want to use ndiswrapper if I can avoid it.

I haven't tried the steps to use the old firmware yet (though I'm about to). Also, when doing to fwcutter command, the output throws up some errors before looking like it's working (this output is attached). When I follow the steps in posts #1 and #6, I don't seem to be getting anywhere on reboot. Thanks for nice tutorial and useful help. How to enable Network manager as Services menu is not shown in my menu as you told How to set up in System=administration= Network. Hey ! My wirless button turnned blue but why does it says mac80211? However, I understand you might want faster speeds for sharing files between computers. This shouldn't matter unless your internet connection is faster than this (T3+, FIOS, etc) So the computers in the other room running at 54mbps really aren't taking advantage of it. Keep in mind, the native driver wont work above 11mbps. You can probably check out for some more on this. From what I've read, users of the 43 (the 1390 apparently uses the 4306 chipset) are the only people that should be having speed related issues, although they should be fixed in the newer. Using the native broadcom drivers should give you speeds of 11mbps. I haven't used it, but you can probably find some information on it here: There is however, a way to automate this. When a user logs onto the system it will always prompt you for the keyring. 23 kernel should hopefully take care of many broadcom issues.Īs for your keyring problem this is quite normal. Currently I'm using 2.6.22.1-27, as I feel it's the most stable for MY particular environment, but it's something to take into account. Broadcom devices (at least for me on my 1390) seem to be picky about what kernel they're running, since there seem to be many changes even in between different versions of the. and then re-connect to a wireless network.

The other problem I have is that Network Manager appears to be telling me that the wireless speed never goes above 1mb/s, and trying to browse the web using the wireless connection certainly feels like that.
When I manually connect to the wireless network using Network Manager, it asks for my keyring password, is there any way to stop this? Although it tells me that wlan0 is being brough up during boot, and gives a green OK, when I actually log into the desktop, Network Manager automatically connects me to the wired lan and not the wireless network. It doesnt quite seem to be working properly though. After following the various instructions in this thread I have eventually got to the point where my card is detected, is apparently activated during boot up, and connects when in gnome using Network Manager. I have been trying to get my pci card with broadcom bcm4318 chipset on all day.
