It seems that some cards can be fussy about firmware, so try some different ones. I have the following installed and my card works OK, although it sometimes takes a couple of attempts to get a good connection. bcm43xx_initval01.fw bcm43xx_initval07.fw bcm43xx_microcode4.fw bcm43xx_initval02.fw bcm43xx_initval08.fw bcm43xx_microcode5.fw bcm43xx_initval03.fw bcm43xx_initval09.fw bcm43xx_pcm4.fw bcm43xx_initval04.fw bcm43xx_initval10.fw bcm43xx_pcm5.fw bcm43xx_initval05.fw bcm43xx_microcode11.fw bcm43xx_initval06.fw bcm43xx_microcode2.fw You don't say which card you are using, some are more problematic than others, the gentoo-sources Changleog shows that support for some versions is still being added. "lspci | grep BCM" will show you the exact model. -- Neil Bothwick Advanced: (adj.) doesn't work yet, but it's pretty close. See: bug, glitch.
