If/when Ubuntu do a kernel upgrade to 2.6.17 or later you MUST use wl_apsta.o (the script does that). The new module does not have the invalid AP bug. To obtain the wl_apsta.o visit [WWW] http://svit.epfl.ch/stuff/wl_apsta.o. (From the bcm43xx team). The latest firmware package contains this driver." [02:02] yes....and i used thier script to load it [02:02] i had issues with my wireless nic when i compiled my own kernel.. to 1.6.20-1 [02:02] 2* [02:03] i had to use cvs drivers from serialmonkey.. (for ralink just) [02:04] its your kernel.. i bet.. wonder if theres is anytjhing on broadcomms site or anywhere about the later kernels.. [02:04] is there a way to SPECIFY the access point? [02:05] yeah you can.. but it doesnt work.. ve been on a similar road to you .. let me check the command.. suppose its worth a try.. === vidd_laptop has the MAC address of the wifi on his router [02:05] yeah,,. [02:08] how do you specify the access point? [02:09] with something like: iwconfig eth0 ap 00:60:1D:01:23:45 [02:09] i dont use now of them guis.. [02:10] now = nonw [02:10] now = none [02:10] ; ) [02:11] mate i dunno.. i am still sure.. its some thing to do with the kernel modules & the 2.6.20 kernel.. [02:11] but i even formated and installed 2.6.17-? that came with edgy, and still no luck [02:14] 2.6.16 comes with edgy.. did u do the upgrade to 2.6.27 that comes with the updates..? [02:14] 2.6.17 [02:15] my typing sheesh : \ [02:15] .... [02:16] on google it say invalid .. means your key is invalid.. [02:16] i always install a command line system, get the updates, then run xubuntu-desktop [02:16] k.. : ) [02:16] i copy pasted it.... [02:16] it CANT be wrong [02:17] how long is it..? i know there is some issue with long keys.. [02:17] =/ [02:17] calm down there fella.. [02:17] im not mad [02:17] im confused [02:18] 26 digits [02:18] so thats that ruled out, i think that key problems starts if its longer than 32 bits... [02:21] is it feisty your on?

[02:28] afaik invalid means your wifi card isnt being authenticated by your router# [02:28] =[ [02:35] hmmmm....the frequency looks like it might be off..... [02:36] the router is set to channel 6 (2.437GHz) and my iwconfig says the card is looking at 2.484GHz..... [02:37] that WOULD cause an issue....right?
