[Bug 182716] Re: bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentication with AP doesn't work.

[Larry Finger]

The bug reported in 257020 _IS_ the bug here for the BCM4306 and most of
the problems in this thread. You will find b43 to be much better than
bcm43xx for a couple of reasons. First of all, the softmac used by
bcm43xx never was any good - the mac80211, which is used by b43, is much
better. Secondly, development on bcm43xx ceased about 18 months ago.

The sprom entry in the /sys tree is provided by ssb and will not be
present when ndiswrapper is running.

Note: I am not aware of any BCM4312 cards with an SPROM coding error.
Once the firmware is properly installed _AND_ the rfkill switch is
properly set to allow the radio to come on, all of them just work.

I would be most interested in the output of 'dmesg | grep b43' for the
BCM4312.
