Let me tell ya something. I started digging really deep into Linux a few months ago. I don't think that I've asked a single question on a forum about issues that I've had. I've searched and searched and searched and searched for all the issues that have come up.Originally Posted by MaxHalz
I guess the best piece of advice I can give you is don't get too stuck on the idea that you can't read through the Ubuntu forums for solutions relating to RedHat or Fedora, or CentOS or whatever. Read everything you can about any issues you find. MOST of the time, no one will have the exact answer for your problem, but MOST of the time, there's enough information given across several posts to solve the issues.
Google for error messages that you see, chances are, you're not the first person to get that error. I've been busy compiling all the BT3 tools under CentOS from source, and so far, everything has worked. Somethings take more work than others, but I'm learning more and more about the OS everytime I do something else.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Read through this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174&page=48
That should help out with finding the problem. It looks like you might have the wrong version of Firmware for your Broadcom. What you neglected to post was which Broadcom card you're using. If it's a 4311 you're SOL.

Hi i have a broadcom 4306 14e4:4320 rev 02. i will check that out. thanks!
here is the code that I previusly posted:
Code:IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID"t" Nickname "Broadcom 4311" Mode:managed Frequency=2.457 GHz Access Point: Invalid RTS thrff Fragment thr: off Encryption keyff Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=256 dBm Noise Level=256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But will try to find out what the issue is. Also read that Broadcom 4309 is the issue there wich might work.
Here i found a link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...1_(ndiswrapper)
I was replying to someone that posted during yesterday and I think most of us on this thread missed.

streaker i followed the guide. and when try to load the drivers using b43fwcutter it doesn't show up when i try to do modprobe b43legacy. the only modules loaded are bcm43xx i can unload/load them at will. ounce i extract the firmware any thing special i need to do to get the OS to see the drivers? i have also tried blacklisting bcm43xx under neath modprobe/blacklist as another solution
btw im using broadcom 4306 rev 2 with backtrack 3. has anyone tried updating the kernel on bt3?
streaker69 sorry for my noobish aproach. Im new and curius about the issue.
This compaq that I curently have will be a giveaway to my father who needs it.
The thing that happened today when bought an acer 5790 was quiet strange.
I was in the store paying for my laptop and a guy thought that a laptop dont have a battery inside and he gave me another one. So when I came home and tried to install it found out his mistake. Now have 2 bateries and not returning. THe guy was quiet sloppy when he was selling it to me.
So when I started my laptop, linux shell was already installed and was given a root access. So with no clue on what to do I wanted to turn my buttons on. Bluethooth worked fine as it turned on but my wifi didnt turn on. So i spent like 5 minutes trying to turn it on and it didnt work. Then I called a shop and said that I have an urgent flight to Dublin and that a button isnt working and how the hell am I gonna use it there. A seller says then that they have a policy that a service guy from a shop needs to check it out but on monday and then if it really dont work they give another one. I was quite furius about it but they didnt let me swap another. So I said that because its their policy I will cancel the flight and bring it on monday.
Atleast I have an extra battery wich costs around 120 $ and not giving it back.
So it all kinds have a bright side.
Best regards MaxHalz.

To say atleast have that kind of ethics in me but to care about a shop that dont want me to return my new laptop I simply dont care. What if I really had to go somewhere where should I be? they have a 7 day return policy, I understand that but later my laptop wouldnt be returnable and be having a broken laptop. Thats why I dare not to return a battery. And they also gave it to me from a shelf wich was standing for people to look at and touch it and in wich later I found out by phone by other guy that they have one in their storage and that he dont understand why this one was given to me. So if their ethics are wrong why should mine be right?
Because now you're at their level? Firget about it, I don't feel like carrying on with an ethics battle with you. All I have to say is that two wrongs don't make a right, and what you did was wrong. They may have been wrong as well, but if someone walks into your house and steals your tv, you don't have the right to do the same. Period.
