[ug-aosug] Trouble with Broadcom 4311 (with NDIS 1.1) and DHCP/wificonfig/inetmenu

[Gustavo Reyes]

Hi, Michael

> Are you sure the AP is in shared_key authmode?
Yes.
> wificonfig -i bcmndis0 connect GHRNET
This command give me a mesage like "/usr/sbin/wificonfig: failed to connect to profile 'GHRWIFI' "
> If it fail again, please double check AP setting,
> and disable the WEP encryption shared_key authmode at AP side
> then do the connect with inetmenu.
I probe this several days ago and connection unsuccess (same error msg)
Last night, I probe with make a snoop in the bcmndis0 and run ethereal in HostAP side.
Maybe, if i perform a truss command, I thought that it could see what problem is ocurring. With this info could debug more deeply into the trouble.
Great was my surprise when not seeing activity in the card.
I think, the key is here: " Aug 15 00:06:43 solaris-devx /sbin/dhcpagent[1107]: [ID 116611 daemon.error] interface bcmndis0 has gone down ".
The dhcpagent cant take control of bcmndis0, the device falls.
What do you think about?.

Gustavo
